Answer:

comma splice

Explanation:

two possible revisions:

Mary Ellen was not following the directions. Therefore, she did not write an appropriate paper.

Mary Ellen was not following the directions; therefore, she did not write an appropriate paper.

The ONLY time that a comma can be used to connect two independent clauses is when it is paired with a coordinating conjunction. The word "therefore" is <em>not</em> a coordinating conjunction; it is a conjunctive adverb (which requires the punctuation as shown in the two revisions above.)

Describe a new character you would add to your favorite book, television show, or movie. What does your character look like?
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

When you think of Marcie, you think of intricate constellations and ablaze stars. She was beyond the mere standard of being beautiful, she was ethereal- she was out of this world. Her sleek, black hair was like a well-woven net of silk ribbons; it captured the attention of everyone around her and captivated them for all the right reasons. Her beady, slanted eyes were worth a million buck, for they held so much passion and devotion that ignited her existence with glee. When her hands stroked the gleaming strings of her harp, she momentarily took off to her own world- somewhere more celestial, more familiar to her. Her graceful aura was endearing; everyone who knew her, respected her and looked up to her. Marcie was the epitome of elegance and eloquence, but she was also a conflicted enigma.
