It is a complete and correct sentence.
It features a comma splice.
It is a fused sentence.
It is a rambling sentence.

Respuesta :

It features a comma splice.

Answer:

This sentence features a comma splice.

Explanation:

A comma splice occurs when two independent clauses are joined together with a comma. In other words, when the writer tries to join two complete sentences with a comma. This is incorrect. In order to fix this sentence, we would have to change the comma to a period or a semicolon. The following are correct.

Everyone should join a service club. It is a great way to improve the world.

Everyone should join a service club; it is a great way to improve the world.

We could also add a coordinating conjunction to correct the sentence.
