You're very welcome.

B. Senate pages may be between fourteen and seventeen years old, and pages in the House must be high school juniors or seniors.

The correct answer is B - "Senate pages may be between fourteen and seventeen years old, and pages in the House must be high school juniors or seniors."

To identify the correct option, we need to understand what coordinating conjunctions are. Coordinating conjunctions are used to join two independent clauses or sentences of equal importance. They include words such as "and," "but," "or," "so," and "yet."

In the given options, option B uses the coordinating conjunction "and" to combine the two sentences effectively.

Option A begins with "while," which is a subordinating conjunction that introduces a dependent clause, making it a compound sentence rather than a coordinated one.

Option C starts with "although," which is a subordinating conjunction used to introduce a dependent clause as well, making it a complex sentence instead of a coordinated one.

Option D uses the word "being," which makes the sentence grammatically incorrect.

Therefore, option B is the correct answer as it correctly combines the two sentences using the coordinating conjunction "and" to form a compound sentence.
