Which is an example of faulty coordination? running takes discipline, and many people enjoy running. running burns calories, and it strengthen leg muscles. i ran in a marathon last year, and i finished the race. i like to stay in shape, and running me do that.

Running takes discipline, and many people enjoy running.

Explanation:

By combining independent clauses in a sentence, the writer reveals the relationships between the thoughts expressed by the clauses.

The conjunction and in the first option is an example of faulty coordination because you can hadly expect people to enjoy something that requires discipline. Discipline and enjoyment are hardly compatible for most people.

If we replace the coordinating conjunction and with the coordinating conjunction yet, we will have correct coordination and show the correct relationship between the thoughts expressed by the clauses:

Running takes discipline, yet many people enjoy running.

the sentence that best describes the tone of the passage from the radio broadcast compared to the passage from the book is b. the radio broadcast has a more surprised tone.

consider the text evidence: in the passage from the book, the description is more matter-of-fact. it is simply describing the things resembling little grey snakes, but there is no urgency in the description. on the other hand, in the passage from the radio broadcast, there is definetely urgency (you can tell from the expression used, "good heavens", which clearly indicates surprise.)
