The sentence that combines the other two with a coordinating conjunction is "Maria is a lawyer and an avid runner." (option A)
What is a coordinating conjunction?
A coordinating conjunction is a word that connects other words, clauses, or sentences that have the same syntactic importance. The conjunctions are: for
- And
- Nor
- But
- Or
- Yet
- So
As we can see, option A uses the coordinating conjunction "and" to combine the two independent clauses into just one sentence, which helps avoid unnecessary repetition.
