Answer :

Final answer:

Identifying and correcting a sentence with a punctuation error in a list of examples.


Explanation:

The sentence punctuated incorrectly is:

  1. Samantha drank a smoothie; but the smoothie was disgusting.

In this sentence, the conjunction 'but' creates a comma splice between two independent clauses, which should be separated by a period or a semicolon instead of just a comma.

Correct Example: Samantha drank a smoothie; but she found it disgusting.
