Answer 2

Answer:

1. Some ants raid the homes of other ants, and make them captive.

2. Some slave ants work for their masters, but others do things for their keep.

Explanation:

• A coordinating conjunction joins or links two parts of a sentence having equal emphasis.

• In English grammar, these coordinating conjunctions are preferred to indicate independent words, clauses, or phrases.

• Coordinating/connecting conjunctions include words such as "for", "yet", "and" and "but", "so" to connect the independent clauses within a compound sentence.

• Using coordinating conjunction makes them similar to conjunctive adverbs such as "for example", "however", or "therefore," though conjunctive adverbs reflect the progression of ideas.

• Coordinating conjunction often comes after a comma that follows the first independent clause of a compound sentence.

• While using "and"expresses additional information of equal weight to the information provided in the first clause.

• For example, "Some ants raid the homes of other ants, and make them captive."

• The conjunction "but" precedes information that opposes/ does not agree with the first main clause in some way.

• For example, "Some slave ants work for their masters, but others do things for their keep."
