Answer (3)

The given sentence which is: “Mrs. Ames is seventy years old, yet she jogs everyday” falls to coordination. A coordination conjunction refers to 2 or more sentences being joined together using the FANBOY coordinating conjunctions. F is For, A is and, N is nor, B is but , O is or and Y is Yet.
Mrs. Ames is seventy years old – this is a one complete sentence.
She jogs everyday – this is also another complete sentence
Then it was joined together by the conjunction YET.

The sentence "Mrs. Ames is seventy years old, yet she jogs every day" is an example of coordination, as it connects two independent clauses using the coordinating conjunction "yet." This demonstrates that both ideas have equal importance. Coordination allows the overall sentence to convey related thoughts effectively.
