Well, let's see... I don't know what a coordinating conjunction is off the top of my head, but I know B isn't the answer, since 'independent' means 'highly capable of handling oneself'. C <em>certainly</em> isn't the answer, simply because you can see by this answer they obviously do combine with a dependent clause from time to time. That leaves us with D and A, which both leave the same term. However, I do believe I can use the word preceding <em>conjunction</em>, which is <em>coordinating</em>, to realize that 'and,' 'but,' and 'or' are coordinating conjunctions. Seriously, D cannot be the answer because not every sentence starts with any of those. So your answer is A.

He knows that the public loves Hamlet, which is why he can't just arrest him for the murder of Polonius, he has to be much sneakier and trickier than that, otherwise the public will take Hamlet's side and Claudius will lose support.
Molten glass is malleable and can be shaped through various techniques. From a molecular point of view, glass is an overcooled liquid. The main component of the glass is silica, which is obtained from sand, quartz or flint. The silica melts at very high temperatures to form glass. Due to its high melting point it suffers little dilatation with temperature changes is suitable for laboratory apparatus and telescope mirrors. Glass with high sodium content can be dissolved in water, forming a viscous liquid called water glass used as fireproof varnish and sealant. As it has a high sodium content it is used in the manufacture of spotlights, glasses, bottles and laminated glass. It also results in lead glass that is combined with lead oxide to make lenses, prisms and jewelry. Another type of glass resulting is borosilicate glass that contains borac and is very durable and resistant to high temperatures, is used in kitchen utensils and equipment for chemical processes.
