a little question from the SAT OG{GRAMMAR}

<p>sometimes an employer does not listen closely to suggestions from employees, making workers feel undervalued.</p>

<p>ok, i m confused because i thought that the comma here caused a comma splice. however the answer choose this one.</p>

<p>is "making "a conjunction or what?</p>

<p>thx</p>

<p>Parenthetical comment I think</p>

<p>It is not a comma splice. “Making workers feel undervalued” is not an independent clause.</p>

<p>then what is a comma splice exactly?</p>

<p>a comma splice exactly is a use of a comma between two independent clauses.
consider this sentence: I’ll take SAT in June, I’m well prepared. that is a comma splice; however, you can correct any comma splice by either changing the comma to a semicolon or by actually making one of the two clauses dependent,meaning, a conjunction should follow the comma. I’ll take SAT in June, and I’m well prepared. Being well prepared for the SAT, I’ll take it in June. I’ll take the SAT in June**;consequently,** I’ll prepare. Because I’m taking the SAT in June, I’ll prepare. check silvertutle’s guide for the writing section. :)</p>

<p>thank you so much!</p>
