Answer 13

Use a semi-colon instead of a comma in order to combine two independent clauses. Keep the comma, but add a conjunction after the comma

Answer 14

use a dash to separate or join clauses

Answer 15

Ah, so since this one specifically says with a comma, probably the subordinate conjunction. Some sources say subordinate, some same coordinate, some just say conjunction. Tricky, eh? So if there wasn't a comma, it would be a semicolon.

Answer 16

no c

Answer 17

Keep the comma, but add a conjunction after the comma (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so)
