2. ladybugs are crafty creatures; when ladybugs are threatened, they pull their legs and antennae under their shells like turtles.
which type of error does sentence 1 have, and which technique is used in sentence 2 to correct sentence 1?
a.
sentence fragment, corrected by using a semicolon
b.
comma splice, corrected by using a semicolon
c.
run-on sentence, corrected by separating clauses into separate sentences
d.
comma splice, corrected by rearranging and rewording

The correct answer is B. Comma splice, corrected by using a semicolon

Explanation:

In grammar, the comma splice is a common mistake and it occurs when a comma is placed in order to separate two independent sentences which are sentences that express a complete idea, contain a subject and a predicate and do not need another sentence to be complete. This is considered as a punctuation mistake because independent or complete sentences should be separated by using a semicolon (;) instead of a comma. This is the case of sentence 1 "Ladybugs are crafty creatures, when they feel threatened, they pull their legs and antennae under their shells like a turtle" in which the two independent clauses "Ladybugs are crafty creatures" and "when they feel threatened, they pull their legs and antennae under their shells like a turtle" have separated using a comma and not a semicolon, mistake that is corrected in sentence 2. Therefore, the type of error that sentence 1 has and the way is corrected in sentence 2 is "Comma splice, corrected by using a semicolon".

i love romeo and xo

it is a!

not b because i don't see how this would make them look dangerous..

not c because that just doesn't make sense..

and not d because this too doesn't make sense, it does not really put the audience on edge in my opinion.

a makes the most sense, romeo's statement that in staying to speak to juliet he is risking his life, leads the audience to worry about his safety. obviously if he says that if he stays, he will be at risk, so of course this makes the audience worry for his safety!

answer is a) romeo's statement that in staying to speak to juliet he is risking his life, leads the audience to worry about his safety.

the answer is true.
