ACCEPTED ANSWER

Score 6

The basic pattern is called coordination or conjunction. It's where two distinct words or clauses are being joined in a single sentence (to compare, contrast, etc.)

There's also a class of words called conjunctions (including, for example, and, but, for, or, nor, yet, and so) which are commonly used in sentences with this pattern.

ANSWER 2

Score 4

This pattern together with some others that you can find here is called correlative conjunction.
