Explanation:
In Amy Tan's short story "Fish Cheeks" she tells readers of an episode when she was fourteen years old. Amy had fallen in love with the minister's son, Robert. Upon finding out her mother had invited Robert and his family for dinner at Christmas, <u>Amy was appalled. She believed the typical Chinese dinner to be served would be a disappointment for an American family. There would be no turkey or sweet potatoes, but fish and shrimp instead. For the first time, Amy looked at all the food and did not find it appetizing.</u>
<u>The excerpt we are analyzing here shows how embarrassed Amy was when her father said, "your favorite." She wanted Robert to think she found the Chinese meal disgusting, so that he would see her as a typical American girl. However, her father innocently revealed the way she actually felt about the food, more specifically about the fish cheeks.</u>

Comma splice also known as comma fault is a writting error that consists in the use of a comma to join two independent clauses. This is also used to convey a particular mood of informality. According to the above, the sentence that eliminates that error is "The field of developmental psychology deals with changes in mental and behavioral performance over time. Although the field began with a focus on child psychology, it has grown to track changes throughout a lifetime"nbecause it includes a period to separate both ideas, moreover, this sentence adds an appropriate linking word "although" to connect the ideas correctly.
