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.
A title can reveal many things about a story. A title may suggest a main idea or theme for text, or show some insight to a character that will be spoken about in the story. It could also introduce a symbol that the writing may follow or represent. A title is very influential to the reader because it it the first thing that they see, and it gives the first bit of information about what they will be reading. Some titles may have an entirely different meaning before you read a text versus after you read the text; therefore, it is important to analyze the title before and after reading a piece of writing.
I hope this helps! :)
