Question 4
To connect two independent clauses with a conjunctive adverb, the correct structure is a semicolon before the conjunctive adverb and a comma after it. Option a is incorrect (period + conjunction is not for conjunctive adverbs). Option b is for coordinating conjunctions (comma + FANBOYS). Option d is missing the semicolon before. So option c is correct.
Conjunctive adverbs (e.g., however, therefore, meanwhile) are used to show relationships like contrast (e.g., however), cause/effect (e.g., therefore), or sequence (e.g., meanwhile). So the statement is true.
"Therefore" is a conjunctive adverb, not a coordinating conjunction (coordinating conjunctions are FANBOYS: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so). So the statement is false.
