To correctly identify and fix the sentences provided:

King Henry VIII, who ruled England from 1509 to 1547, accomplished a number of important things.

This sentence is correct as it stands. It includes a subject ('King Henry VIII'), who he was ('who ruled England from 1509 to 1547'), and his actions ('accomplished a number of important things').


He separated the Church of England from Roman Catholicism, this act significantly altered his country's history.

This sentence has a comma splice problem. A comma splice occurs when two independent clauses are joined with just a comma.
To fix this, you can: a. Split into two separate sentences:
"He separated the Church of England from Roman Catholicism. This act significantly altered his country's history." b. Use a semicolon to join the clauses:
"He separated the Church of England from Roman Catholicism; this act significantly altered his country's history." c. Use a coordinating conjunction:
"He separated the Church of England from Roman Catholicism, and this act significantly altered his country's history."





These revisions ensure each sentence is complete and correctly punctuated.
