Explanation:

Coordinating conjunctions refer to a group of words that coordinate and join at least two or more sentences that have same syntactic importance. There are seven coordinating conjunctions: or, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so.

Correlative conjunctions refer to a group of words which correlate sentences with the same importance, by working in pairs. Correlative conjunctions are: either/or, neither/nor, not only/ but also.

Subordinating conjunctions refer to a group of words that link a dependent clause with an independent clause. There are different types of subordinating conjunctions, like: conjunctions that are showing cause and effect: because, for, as, since, therefore, hence, due to, unless, so/so that, etc; conjunctions that are expressing time and place relations, like: while, when, where, before, after, etc.

Conjunctive adverbs refer to a group of words that connect two clauses and to clarify ideas expressed in those clauses. Conjunctive adverbs are: also, moreover, instead, in fact, however, finally, etc.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
