D) Farhad, a member of the debate team, is quite good at making his points of debate clear.

Respuesta :

I'd say that A) contains the faulty coordination.

Answer:

The answer with the Faulty Coordination is A)

Explanation:

Faulty coordination refers to the act of joining two sentences or a sentence and a clause in a way that enervates it's meaning.

The way conjunctions are used play a huge role is determining whether a there is faulty coordination or not.

The following are examples of conjunctions:

  1. For
  2. And
  3. Nor
  4. But
  5. Or
  6. Yet

The above are used to ties sentences and clauses and or words together in such a way that the flow or transition is logical.

For example:

  1. Jide is good, but his sister is better.
  2. I'd love to go for a swim, and skydiving thereafter.

Sentence A) can be corrected as follows:

The debate team has many new members, but the team is not very good yet.

Cheers!
