Question

Which sentence includes faulty coordination? My dad attended my high school many years ago, but he transferred out his junior year. My school is the oldest in our town, and it is three stories high. The middle school in our neighborhood is old, but it is not nearly as old as my high school. Many parts of the school have been restored, and they look much as they did when the school opened.

Answer 1

The sentence that contains a faulty coordination is "My school is the oldest in our town, and it is three stories high." since both ideas that are conected are not related to each other.

Faulty coordiantion occurs when joining two sentences in a way that make their meaning illogical.

In this case, the coordinating conjunction "and" is linking two sentences that do not follow a logical sence since the first sentence is talking about school age and the second one about its hight.

Answer 2

My school is the oldest in our town, and it is three stories high" is the sentence with the faulty coordination. The age of the school has nothing to do with the height of the school.
