Explicación
Option 1 is correct because a coordinating conjunction connects two independent clauses.
Option 3 is correct because it includes only coordinating conjunctions:
for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so.
These words are used to connect two independent clauses and form compound sentences.
Why option 3 is correct
The correct answer is “I wanted to go, but it started to rain.” because it is a compound sentence.
A compound sentence has:
two independent clauses
a coordinating conjunction (and, but, or, so, etc.)
Option 4 is correct because a complex sentence has one independent clause and one dependent clause.
The independent clause has a complete idea and can stand alone.
The dependent clause cannot stand alone and needs the independent clause.
Option 3 although is correct because although is a subordinating conjunction.
A subordinating conjunction introduces a dependent clause and connects it to an independent clause.
Option 1 – because is correct because because is a subordinating conjunction.
A subordinating conjunction introduces a dependent clause and connects it to an independent clause.
Option 3 is correct because “Although tired” is a dependent clause. It does not express a complete idea and it needs the rest of the sentence (she finished the test) to have full meaning. Therefore, it depends on the main clause.
Option 1 is correct because it uses the subordinating conjunction “if” with the correct grammar structure and forms a complete sentence.
Option 4 is correct because subordinating conjunctions introduce or start a dependent clause in a sentence.
Option 3 is correct because coordinating conjunctions join independent clauses, and subordinating conjunctions introduce dependent clauses.
