I trying to correct this sentence.
Most stockholders favored the merger, the management did not.
I know this is a comma splice sentence
You can either put "but" after the comma or you can replace the comma with a semicolon.
To correct the comma splice sentence, you have a couple of options:
1. Replace the comma with a coordinating conjunction (such as "but") to connect the two independent clauses:
Most stockholders favored the merger, but the management did not.
2. Convert the sentence into two separate sentences:
Most stockholders favored the merger. The management did not.
Both options ensure that each independent clause is properly separated and makes the sentence grammatically correct.
