A . An
unclear antecedent, a very common grammatical error, leads to confusion,
because the reader isn’t sure what a pronoun is referring to. 

When you use a pronoun to refer to a
noun earlier in the sentence, or sometimes in a previous sentence, you must
ensure that the right pronoun is used. Sometimes, a pronoun is used to refer
back to a noun which is not even provided.

Two independent clauses can be joined using a
conjunctive adverb preceded by a semi-colon and followed by a comma. It is
important that the adverb provides a logical connection. 

Which conjunctive adverb is the best choice for the following:

He always seems to win any argument he
enters into, which is very discouraging; ____________, I won that day.

· 
Options: A : but

· 
Options: B : nevertheless

· 
Options: C : however

E. Two independent clauses can also be joint through parataxis; use a
semicolon without a CoCO FANBOY or an conjunctive adverb. 

Two independent clauses joined with
a semi-colon and conjunctive adverb: Poetry can stimulated our imaginations and
help us think more creatively about punctuation; therefore, it is worthwhile to
make an effort even if the poem is difficult. 

NOTE: a comma follows the
conjunctive adverb. For a list of the most common conjunctive adverbs, see the
Handbook section of Writing with Style.

Two independent clauses joined
through parataxis:  The night is dark; the shadows loom. 

When using parataxis in an essay or
other writing requiring clarity, the relationship between the two independent
clauses must be evident. However, in “creative” writing, like in the
example from Jacob’s Room in the Novel Beginnings reading, the
relationship is not clear, so we as readers must make the connections through
active reading and critical thinking. 

Are the following sentences examples
of parataxis? 

1.  He argued that creating a solid thesis is important; unfortunately, she disagreed. Yes or NO ?

2. He stood upon the brink; however, he knew not what to do. Yes or NO ?

3. 
The Duke’s
ego is monumental; he’s such a jerk. Yes or No ?
