Identify the problem in following sentence:Tracy rides bulls rodeos he’s really good. A. Fused sentence B. Comma splice C. Sentence fragment D. Dangling modifier?

The problem is A. Fused sentence.

Here's why:

* Fused Sentence: This occurs when two independent clauses (complete sentences) are joined together without proper punctuation or a conjunction. In this case, "Tracy rides bulls rodeos" and "he's really good" are both complete sentences, but they are stuck together without a comma or conjunction.

Let's fix it:

* Corrected: Tracy rides bulls at rodeos, and he's really good. (We added a comma and the conjunction "and" to separate the clauses correctly).
