Answer:
This is an example of a comma splice.
Explanation:
A comma splice happens when we use only a comma to join two independent clauses. It is a punctuation mistake that must be avoided. Independent clauses are clauses that can express a complete thought on their own. When joined, they should have not just a comma but also a coordinating conjunction between them. Coordinating conjunctions are: for, and, not, but, or, yet, so.
To correct the sentence we are analyzing here, we can simply add a conjunction after the comma:
- Christina Rossetti was a poet, and her most famous poem is "Goblin Market."
