PLEASE HELP!!
Select the correct answer. What type of conjunction is used in the following sentence? Mr. Lopez worked as a teacher and a counselor.

A. coordinating conjunction
B. subordinating conjunction
C. Conjunction pair

A. coordinating conjunction

Explanation:

The conjunction in this sentence is the word 'and' We refer to this conjunction as a coordinating conjunction, because it joins two words (or phrases) of equal rank - the noun teacher and the noun counselor, in this case. Other coordinating conjunctions include: but, nor, or, so, for, and yet.To avoid confusion, word 'as' in this sentence is not a conjunction - it is a preposition we use when we describe the role/purpose/occupation of something/someone. Subordinating conjunctions are used to introduce a subordinating clause, which is also not the case here. These include although, because, even though, etc.
