Comma Splice: "Tom opened his freezer, then he noticed that two cans of beer had exploded." This is a comma splice. It has 2 independent clauses.

" I cannot afford a house in London, so I am moving to Sunderland." and "The computer in my room is old, but the carpet is ancient." But why sentences like this are correct? Don't both these sentences also have 2 independent clauses? Because in the first sentence I is the subject and moving is the verb. In the second sentence, the carpet is the subject and ancient is the verb. Help please.

the purpose of the heading in the passage is to identify who is telling the story.

this excerpt is part of the book sugar changed the world (2010) written by marc aronson and marina budhos. as the book has been written by two people, the heading "marc" indicates that this specific excerpt is being narrated by aronson. in the fragment, marc describes his grandfather's story after hearing it from his cousin. however, there are other excerpts where budhos is the one that tells the story of her family.

aronson and budhos, who are husband and wife in real life, decided to write sugar changed the world when they found out how sugar, which had an important role in slavery and economy, changed their ancestors' lives.
