Does the following sentence use coordination, subordination, both, or neither? watterson has explained that calvin was named after the sixteenth-century theologian john calvin; likewise, hobbes was named for another influential thinker, the seventeenth-century philosopher thomas hobbes

Both

Explanation:

There are different clauses in this extract, linked to each other in different ways:

"Watterson has explained that Calvin was named after the sixteenth-century theologian John Calvin;"

In this case, "that Calvin was named after the sixteenth-century theologian John Calvin" is a subordinate clause which is indeed subordinated to the main independent clause: "Watterson has explained", by the use of "that". Thus, we have an example of subordination.

Then, we have the semicolon ";" in between the first complex sentence and the second one, which is "[previous sentence] ; likewise, Hobbes was named for another influential thinker, the seventeenth-century philosopher Thomas Hobbes." Here we have an example of coordination introduced by that semicolon.

IMPORTANT: "the seventeenth-century philosopher Thomas Hobbes." Is only a nominal phrase, since it doesn't contain any verb.

The correct answer is C. Something the reader has experienced

Explanation:

In reading, text-to-self connection implies making a connection or relating the ideas and concepts found on a text with own experiences, previous knowledge and in general everything the reader has ever done or lived. This type of connection is personal and differs from text-to-text connection because in this the connection occurs with other texts the reader has read and from text-to-world because in this the reader connects the text with history or events that occur in the world. This implies in text-to-self the reader connects something in the text to something the reader has experienced.
