Read the incorrect sentence. Write three to five sentences explaining what kind of run-on sentence it is and how to revise it.My mother and father are both scientists, it must have been my destiny to become interested in biology.

Answer:

The sentence is a comma splice because it incorrectly uses only a comma to join two independent clauses. To revise this error, you can replace the comma with a period to create two separate sentences. Another option is to keep the comma and add a coordinating conjunction, or replace the comma with a semicolon to link the related ideas.
