Question

The 1957 Chevy Nomad is one of the finest vehicles ever made my mother drives one that is in perfect condition.Which sentence error does the text above make?A.comma spliceB.fused sentenceC.sentence fragmentD.independent clause

Answer 1

The answer is B. Fused sentence

Explanation:

In writing, a fused sentence or a run-on sentence refers to a grammatical mistake that occurs as writers do not place an appropriate conjunction/ transition or punctuation mark between two or more complete independent sentence. In the case presented, this occurs because there is not a word or punctuation mark such as a semicolon before "my mother drives one that is in perfect condition" which is a different sentence to "The 1957 Chevy Nomad is one of the finest vehicles ever made" and therefore should be separated from this.
