If you don't know what the word "desolate" means, you can use prefixes, suffixes, and root words in addition to context clues to figure out the meaning. First, we have the prefix "de-" which implies removal or lack of something. Next, the word "-late" can mean after, the end of, etc. "Sol" is usually used in nouns referring to something to do with soil. So, it could mean something like "no plant life, it's past growing season" or something, considering it is talking about a field. The correct answer is A. deserted. Hope this helps!

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

It contains a <em>comma splice</em>.

Explanation:

Both comma splice and fused sentence are <em>writing errors</em>  that occur when we try <em>to join two independent clauses (</em> it has a subject and a verb and presents a complete thought)

Fused sentence occurs when we join two independent clauses without any punctuation ( I love books my favorite book is<em> The Catcher in the Rye</em> ).

Comma splice occurs when we join two independent clauses with a comma, like in the given sentence. To fix this error, we can: put a <em>semicolon</em> (<em>No one likes a bully; He has no friends.</em> ) or a<em> period</em> between these two sentences (<em>No one likes a bully. He has no friends.</em> ) or <em>add a conjunction </em>(<em>No one likes a bully so he has no friends.</em>)
