Hi,
Can you tell me which connector we can use to join the following?

Have you been playing football? Have you been playing basket ball?

It depends on what you want to express... Perhaps you could give us some more details? ;-)) |

Aha.
Always the text book is full of confused things that convey the 2 answers.

Both "and" and "or" are correct. It depends on what you are asking.
Have you been playing football and basketball? - This asks if the person has been playing both sports.
Have you been playing football or basketball? - This depends on where the emphasis is. If it is asked in an even tone, it is asking if the person has been playing either sport (or it could be both). If there is emphasis on both of the words "football" and "basketball", then it is asking which one of the sports the person has been playing.
I hope this helps you,
