"I bought a white shirt, he bought a blue shirt." Which rule of comma usage is the statement violating, and why?
a) Comma splice and run-on sentences; because the two independent clauses can be separated by a comma only if accompanied by a coordinating conjunction
b) Comma used to separate parts of a compound statement; because the sentence is not a compound sentence as the two clauses are interdependent
c) Comma between subjects and verbs; because the comma should be after "I" and not "shirt"
d) Comma used to set off items; because the comma can be used in this sense only when there are transitional words in a sentence, which is not the case here
