🎓 CLEP Exam Prep

Identify the sentence that contains a comma splice.

A The sun was setting, casting long shadows across the field.
B She studied diligently for the exam; consequently, she earned a high score.
C Although it was late, they decided to finish the project tonight.
D He loves to read science fiction, his favorite author is H.G. Wells.

✓ Correct Answer: Option D

A comma splice occurs when two independent clauses are joined only by a comma. Option D incorrectly uses a comma to link 'He loves to read science fiction' and 'his favorite author is H.G. Wells,' both complete sentences.
