    Q1. Which revision fixes the fused sentence?

    • A) The appeal was filed late the tribunal rejected it.
    • B) The appeal was filed late, so the tribunal rejected it.
    • C) The appeal was filed late the tribunal rejected it, however.
    • D) The appeal was filed late but the tribunal rejected it without a connector plan.

    Answer: The appeal was filed late, so the tribunal rejected it.

    Explanation: A fused (run-on) sentence lacks punctuation or a conjunction between independent clauses; adding "so" with a comma correctly joins the two clauses and shows cause and effect.
