Answer 1

The best answer is **B**. It uses the coordinating conjunction "but" to correctly create a compound sentence showing contrast between the two independent clauses.A is incorrect because "however" is a conjunctive adverb, not a coordinating conjunction, and needs a semicolon before it and a comma after it to correctly join two independent clauses.C is incorrect because "while" creates a dependent clause, resulting in a complex sentence, not a compound sentence.D is incorrect because it creates a complex sentence with a dependent clause. It also sounds awkward and less clear than B.
