Question

(select all that apply.) twain wrote many books, and he worked as a journalist. twain wrote many books, however, he also worked as a journalist. twain wrote many books; however, he also worked as a journalist. twain wrote many books; and he worked as a journalist.

Explanation:

Coordinating conjunctions join words, phrases, or independent clauses of equal rank. The FANBOYS (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) are common coordinating conjunctions. "Because" and "although" are subordinating conjunctions. For punctuation, when using "however" to join two independent clauses, a semicolon is used before it and a comma after it. When using "and" to join two independent clauses, a comma is used before it.
