Comma splice


Concord error

Answer 1

The academic writing error in the sentence "Although, the judge ruled in favour of the defendant." is Sentence fragment.

The sentence is incomplete because it starts with "Although" and does not provide a complete thought; it requires a main clause to complete it. The comma after "Although" is also unnecessary.
