Answer 2

A linker is words such as and, but, yet, etc. followed by a comma. However, I'm not sure if a comma needs to follow. When I googled it said a comma needs to follow. The linker needs to bring 2 clauses together.

For instance: Dan said the show was fun, but time was going slowly for him.

Answer 3

A linker could be a conjunction like, and, but, or
It could also be a verb that goes with another verb like: ARE running

Honestly, I have never heard the term "linker" before, but those would be my two suggestions.
