Answer:

The sun-on sentence is:

There's a test today, I hope you studied for it.

Explanation:

An independent clause is a group of words which has a subject and a predicate and which can stand alone as a sentence. Independent clauses are able to convey a complete thought.

When we join independent clauses incorrectly, we have what is called a run-on sentence. One type of run-on sentence is a comma splice, which is the case here:

- There's a test today, I hope you studied for it.

The sentence above is incorrect because all we used to join the sentences was a comma. To make it right, we should either add a coordinating conjunction after the comma (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so) or use a semicolon instead of a comma:

- There's a test today, so I hope you studied for it.

- There's a test today; I hope you studied for it.
