The sentence that includes a comma splice is:
"I told her she shouldn’t go on that trip, she didn’t listen."
A comma splice occurs when two independent clauses are joined with just a comma. In this case, "I told her she shouldn’t go on that trip" and "she didn’t listen" are both independent clauses.
