a. sentence fragment
b. fused sentence
c. comma splice
d. misplaced modifier

Comma splice

"The local classic car auction raised $12,000 for local charities" is a complete independent clause. "the mayor is designating the funds to the children’s hospital" is also a complete independent clause. The two are joined together illegally (in the eyes of the grammar police) by a comma. When two independent clauses are joined together by a comma this is called a comma splice. If the comma had been missing, the sentence would have been considered a fused sentence. It is not a sentence fragment because it contains a subject and verb without any subordinating conjunctions that would create a dependent clause.
