An example of faulty coordination is Samuel Clemens was born in 1835, and he is better known by the pen name Mark Twain. The answer is B.
EXPLANATION
Faulty coordination connects two ideas which are meaningfully illogical or incompatible so they are difficult to understand. In English there are seven conjunctions, among others: and, so, but, for, also, and or. Coordination connects two ideas. In the options above, proper coordination is the answers A, C, and D. All three options are logically connected:
- “Places that Mark Twain describes in Huckleberry Finn are based on real places in Missouri.”
- “Tom Blackenship was not only a childhood friend of Mark Twain’s but also a model for the character Huck Finn.”
- “Mark Twain traveled all over the world, but he never forgot his childhood home in Missouri.”
The bold words are conjunctions. These conjunctions connect the right two sentences so that it makes sense (logical)
- “Samuel Clemens was born in 1835, and he is better known by the pen name Mark Twain.”
While sentence above uses two sentences that are not synchronous, which should be written:
- “Samuel Clemens who is better known by the pen name Mark Twain was born in 1835.”
Interesting Info:
Mark Twain was hailed as "The Greatest humorist produced by this country". William Faulkner called him "The Father of American Literature". Twain was raised at Hannibal, Missouri, which later became the setting for his work: Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.
