Which of the following correctly corrects the comma splice in the sentence: "The storm raged for hours, the power went out across the entire city."
Correct: B
The original sentence is a comma splice, incorrectly joining two independent clauses with only a comma. Option A removes the comma, creating a fused sentence (another type of run-on). Options C and D are also grammatically correct ways to fix a comma splice, using a comma with a coordinating conjunction or a period to separate the sentences, respectively. However, Option B, using a semicolon, is a perfectly valid and common method to connect two closely related independent clauses without using a conjunction.
