Question:

What is the CORRECT way to rewrite Sentence 3?

A When we came across the mouth of a dark, grim cave, I was immediately filled with trepidation; therefore, I said I would stay outside.
explanation

This sentence contains a comma splice: the incorrect usage of a comma to separate two independent clauses. The correct punctuation between two independent clauses is either a semicolon or a comma with a conjunction word. The sentence also lacks a comma between "cave" and 'I," as we're separating an independent clause from a dependent clause.
