Answer:
The correct answer is <u>D</u>: Cedric Yamanaka.
Explanation:
This excerpt is from the short story <em>The Lemon Tree Billiard House</em>, written by Cedric Yamanaka.
In the excerpt, Mitch describes how he became cursed.
One day, he went to a beach house with his father, and he climbed some rocks. His father said to him that the rocks were sacred, so Mitch believed that he had been cursed, because of climbing it.
In this story, Cedric Yamanaka uses a typical Hawaiian dialect, which differs him from other writers.

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.
