Answer
Brief Explanations:
A comma - splice occurs when two independent clauses are joined only by a comma. We check each sentence for this error.
- "Raj wants to get tickets for the baseball game, he knows it might rain though." has two independent clauses joined by just a comma, so it's a comma - splice.
- "He heard it was going to rain, but now the weather looks fine." has a coordinating conjunction "but", so it's not a comma - splice.
- "The skies are blue, there is not a cloud in the sky." has two independent clauses joined by just a comma, so it's a comma - splice.
- "It is a perfect day for playing baseball." is a single independent clause, not a comma - splice.
- "Raj knows he will regret it, he just can't stay inside on a day this nice." has two independent clauses joined by just a comma, so it's a comma - splice.
Answer:
A. Raj wants to get tickets for the baseball game, he knows it might rain though. C. The skies are blue, there is not a cloud in the sky. E. Raj knows he will regret it, he just can't stay inside on a day this nice.
