Answer 1

a. He has found success in many fields, including finance, information technology, and the culinary arts; but with the publication of his new book, Delacorte can add best-selling author to his long list of accomplishments.

Step-by-step explanation:

A clause is a group of words that has a subject and a verb.

An independent clause is a type of clause that has a complete meaning or thought.

A conjunction is a word used to link clauses.E.g However, But, If, etc.

From the options available, the sentence that has two independent clauses that are linked with a semicolon and coordinating conjunction is Option A because the two independent clauses have a complete thought if they stand alone.
