Respuesta :

The first sentence.
(Pride and Prejudice is a classic love story, and it was written by Jane Austin.)

Answer: A) Pride and Prejudice is a classic love story, and it was written by Jane Austen.

Explanation: A faulty coordination is when we join two phrases that don't have the same level of importance or that aren't related with each other, and the result is a sentence with an illogical meaning. From the given sentences, the one that is an example of a faulty coordination is option A, because the two clauses have unequal ideas, the other three options have ideas that match (option B is talking about the main characters, option C is about the adaptations of the book and in the last option one clause is the consequence of the other one).
