Explanation:
Coordinating conjunctions are a type of conjunction that joins two elements in a sentence that are equal in importance and structure. There are seven: <em>for, so, or, nor, and, for, </em>and<em> but</em>. They are often used to give equal emphasis to two main clauses. Option d is the correct answer because it uses the coordinating conjunction “but” to connect the two independent clauses and give equal emphasis to both of them.
The ancient Romans may also be responsible for the name of our modern day of love. Emperor Claudius II executed two men — both named Valentine — on Feb. 14 of different years in the 3rd century A.D. Their martyrdom was honored by the Catholic Church with the celebration of St. Valentine's Day.
