The answer is:
My mother is very tall but my father is even taller.
Conjunctions join clauses, words and phrases and they are usually used to avoid a sequence of short sentences. For example, <em>and, but, </em>and <em>or</em>.
In this case, the most suitable sentences to combine with a conjunction like "but" are the ones whose subjects are related (mother and father) and whose predicates have a similar structure: both describe height and one has a comparative form of the adjective tall, so they can be easily joined.
Bruh I feel you. Sorry I don't have the answer. I'd probably ask a similar question; have someone do something for me, but this is just pure laziness. Cmon, you won't go far if you won't do it yourself.
Not trying to offend, please don't get this the other way around.
Anyway just wanted to share some encouragement.
You got this. and again, sorry for not "literally" answering your question
9) should be band-wagon, as it talks about how amazing this particular product is and does its best to have you buy one yourself.
