Answer 2

Answer:

C. Running takes discipline, and many people enjoy running.

Explanation:

Faulty co- ordination happens when the words in the sentences don't go along with each other. They might even be implying opposite things.

Among the examples given in the question, the example of faulty co- ordination is sentence C. Running takes discipline, and many people enjoy running.

The other sentences all sync well with their accompanying clauses. But option C is contradicting itself in the whole sentence. While the first part of the sentence, the independent clause states that running requires discipline. The second dependent clause implies that this discipline is enjoyed by many people. It will be faulty to say say that anyone enjoys discipline. Discipline and enjoyment hardly go together so this is contradictory to each other. Thus, the example of faulty co- ordination is

C. Running takes discipline, and many people enjoy running.
