Question

Which sentence is an example of faulty coordination?

Answer 1

Choice A is the answer. First of all, you need a comma before the conjunction “that.” Secondly, you would like to say basketball was invented in 1891 instead of an exciting sport was invented in 1891, because basketball is your subject.

Answer 2

Answer:

d. Basketball is an exciting sport, and it was invented in 1981.

Explanation:

Faulty coordination takes place when the ideas of two linked clauses are different, that is to say, they are not at the same level. This leads to a common mistake, which is giving them the same relevance or emphasis, when, in fact, one should be subordinated to the other.

There are many methods to correct this mistake: by the use of a subordinate clause, adjective clause, adverb clause and an appositive

In this case, option B. would be one of the possible correct ways to express the idea.
