Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) A sentence with a comma splice uses a comma to separate two independent clauses. To correct a comma splice, insert a period and make two sentences: We can give him a small raise. He deserves it. You can also use a semicolon to correct a comma splice: We gave him a small raise; he deserves it.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: Memos are designed to be shorter and less formal than letters. Memos can go unsigned, since the sender's name appears at the top. In many cases, the sender will initial the bottom of the memo for a personal touch.
