Explanation:

Question 1

• Structure: Coordinating conjunctions (e.g., and, but, or) are single words that join two equal grammatical elements (e.g., words, phrases, independent clauses). Conjunctive adverbs (e.g., however, therefore, moreover) are adverbial words or phrases that show a relationship between two independent clauses.
• Sentence Type/Clause Types: Coordinating conjunctions join two independent clauses (creating a compound sentence) or equal non - clause elements (e.g., two nouns). Conjunctive adverbs also connect two independent clauses (in a compound sentence) to show a logical relationship (e.g., contrast, addition, cause - effect).
• Punctuation: With a coordinating conjunction, a comma precedes it when joining two independent clauses (e.g., I went to the store, and I bought milk). With a conjunctive adverb, a semicolon precedes it and a comma follows it when joining two independent clauses (e.g., I went to the store; however, I forgot the milk).

A compound sentence with a semicolon and conjunctive adverb needs two independent clauses. The conjunctive adverb shows the relationship (e.g., however for contrast, therefore for cause - effect). Punctuation: semicolon before the conjunctive adverb, comma after.

Answer:

Coordinating conjunctions (e.g., and, but, or) are single - word connectors for equal elements (words, phrases, independent clauses). They take a comma before them when joining two independent clauses (compound sentence). Conjunctive adverbs (e.g., however, therefore) are adverb - like connectors for independent clauses, taking a semicolon before and a comma after when joining two independent clauses (compound sentence).
