Read the sentence below and answer the question that follows.

billy cobham is a talented and respected fusion drummer, and he was born in panama.

what is wrong with the sentence?

the ideas in the independent clauses are not coordinate.

a semicolon should precede the coordinate conjunction.

“talented and respected” is not parallel.

it uses an incorrect conjunctive adverb.

The correct answer is option A) "The ideas in the independent clauses are not coordinate."

Explanation:

In this case, both ideas that the comma and coordinating conjunction "and" are joining are not coordinate. So, option A is the correct one.

Option B is incorrect since the sentence is using a comma and not a semicolon. Apart from that, when using a semicolon, no coordinating conjunction should be used.

Option c is also incorrect since the adjectives "talented" and "respected" are parallel words (parallelism is achieved when using the same grammar pattern).

And finally, option D is also incorrect since no conjunctive adverb is used in the sentence. Examples of conjunctive adjectives are: moreover, unless, instead, however, therefore, besides, among others.
