Short sentences...

1) demand attention & should be used for emphasis only
2) should be avoided because the reveal a lack of writing ability
3) should always be combined with a coordinating conjunction
4) All of the above
5) None of the above

#1 is correct. Short sentences don't flow smoothly as longer sentences do, so the abruptness of a short sentence in a middle of a written work will add intense contrast placing emphasis on the statement.

#2 is incorrect because short sentences can be used effectively to add emphasis to a statement. This use of short sentences often strengthens the author's message and actually can help reveal a writer's skill.

#3 is incorrect because if we combine a short sentence with another short sentence, it's no longer a short sentence.  This obviously defeats the entire purpose of an abrupt sentence.
