Question

Which is an example of faulty coordination? A. The first guitars had several strings, but standard modern American guitars have only six strings. B. The guitar is used in a lot of contemporary music, and the instrument probably originated in Spain during the 1500s. C. The guitar is featured in rock music, so most rock bands have guitarists. D. The electric guitar is a fairly recent invention, yet it is a key instrument in many contemporary bands.

Answer 1

“The guitar is used in a lot of contemporary music, and the instrument probably originated in Spain during the 1500s” is an example of faulty coordination.

 

In the example, a writer incorrectly attempts to coordinate a phrase (buying a new car), a clause (because thefts are frequent), and a word (age). To successfully coordinate items, their structures (word, phrase, or clause) must be the same. To correct faulty coordination, rewrite the structures so that they match.
