Question

fragments, comma splices, and run - on sentences. identify the following groups of words. the practice of journalism is changing dramatically advances in technology have sped up news cycles. a correctly punctuated b comma splice c run - on/fused d fragment

Explanation:

A run - on/fused sentence occurs when two independent clauses are joined without proper punctuation or a conjunction. Here, "The practice of journalism is changing dramatically" and "advances in technology have sped up news cycles" are two independent clauses. There is no comma + conjunction (e.g., ", and") or a semicolon to separate them properly. A comma splice would have a comma but no conjunction. A fragment is a group of words that does not express a complete thought. This is not a fragment as both parts are independent clauses. And it is not correctly punctuated.

Answer:

C. Run - on/Fused
