practice grammar quiz: fragment/splice/run on quiz english 10 (s2 p06 rm c226) schurg, darden / grammar / grammar group 2 (s2) clauses 4. the bulldogs are undefeated and they have a great quarterback. the bulldogs are undefeated, and they have a great quarterback. the bulldogs are undefeated and, they have a great quarterback. correct as is the bulldogs are undefeated; and they have a great quarterback.

Explanation:

To determine the correct sentence, we analyze comma usage with conjunctions (FANBOYS: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so). When joining two independent clauses with "and" (a coordinating conjunction), a comma should precede "and". The original sentence has no comma before "and", but the first option adds the comma correctly. The second option misplaces the comma after "and", the fourth uses a semicolon with "and" (incorrect, as semicolons don't pair with coordinating conjunctions), and the original is incorrect due to missing the comma before "and".

Answer:

The Bulldogs are undefeated, and they have a great quarterback.
