Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The two independent clauses "Each night, she made her rounds by lamplight, bringing comfort to the lonely men" and "they called her the Lady of the Lamp" are joined by a comma without a coordinating conjunction or proper punctuation. This is a comma splice. It can be corrected by adding a coordinating conjunction (such as "and" or "so") or separating the clauses into two separate sentences.
