C. Making new clothes is fun, and it can also be less expensive than buying them.
D. Sometimes, I design my own clothes, but other times, I use commercial patterns to make them.

Answer 1

The Correct Answer Is A :)

Answer 2

The answer is A) I learned to sew by taking a class, it was taught by a great teacher. The reason is because a comma splice is used to join two independent clauses together. An independent clause is a simple sentence that can stand alone on its own. Because the first part and second part of the sentence can stand alone on their own as two separate sentences they are both independent clauses. Thus A is an example of a comma splice.
