Each sentence below contains two main clauses, but due to incomplete punctuation, the
  sentence is either a run-on or a comma splice. Remember that a run-on sentence includes two
  independent clauses without proper punctuation between them. A comma splice has an
  insufficient comma that needs to be followed by a fanboys or that needs to be changed to a
  semicolon or a period. Identify the error and correct each sentence by making one of the
  clauses dependent or by using a comma, a fanboys and a comma, a semicolon, or a period.
