The sentences that fix the comma splice are:

A. These shoes are too expensive, but I am going to buy them anyway.
B. These shoes are too expensive; I am going to buy them anyway.

<h3>What is a Comma Splice?</h3>

This refers to the occurrence of improperly placed commas between two complete sentences.

Hence, we can see that to correct the comma splice, there would be the use of commas and semi colons to join the independent clauses in the sentences and are options A and B.
