    Correct Answer
    A. There were always excuses for Tray's behavior, but there was no excuse for the way he looked.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "There were always excuses for Tray's behavior, but there was no excuse for the way he looked." This sentence correctly uses the coordinating conjunction "but" to contrast the excuses for Tray's behavior with the lack of excuse for his appearance. The comma is correctly placed before "but" to separate the two independent clauses.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Following the example of his mother, Kenneth decided to become a hair stylist, so he pretty much gave up on the hope of ever having a girlfriend." The answer is correct because it maintains the correct punctuation and capitalization, as well as the correct use of commas to separate the introductory phrase "Following the example of his mother" from the main clause "Kenneth decided to become a hair stylist." The answer also correctly uses the conjunction "so" to indicate cause and effect between Kenneth's decision and giving up on the hope of having a girlfriend.
