'Red wolves were extinct in the wild, but scientists developed a breeding program and reintroduced the wolves in North Carolina.'

Explicar

## Step 1<br />The sentence given is "Red wolves were extinct in the wild but scientists developed a breeding program and reintroduced the wolves in North Carolina.". We need to insert a comma to separate the two independent clauses.<br />## Step 2<br />The two independent clauses are "Red wolves were extinct in the wild" and "scientists developed a breeding program and reintroduced the wolves in North Carolina". These two clauses are connected by the coordinating conjunction "but".<br />## Step 3<br />According to English punctuation rules, when two independent clauses are connected by a coordinating conjunction, a comma should be placed before the conjunction.<br />## Step 4<br />Therefore, the correct sentence is "Red wolves were extinct in the wild, but scientists developed a breeding program and reintroduced the wolves in North Carolina.".
