Question

try again! answer two in a row correctly to continue.
select the conjunction that best links the ideas below.
the forecast predicted heavy storms in wally wests area; not a single drop fell from the sky, otherwise.

Explanation:

The original sentence has a contrast between the forecast of heavy storms and the actual lack of rain. The word "otherwise" is incorrect here. A correct conjunction like "however" would show the contrast. But since we need to correct the conjunction, the error is in "otherwise" and the appropriate contrast - showing conjunction (like "however") should replace it. But if we assume the task is to correct the conjunction, the correct one would be a contrast - indicating one. Since the original has "otherwise" which is wrong, the correct conjunction for contrast between forecast and reality is "however" (or similar like "though", "yet"). But maybe the intended correction is replacing "otherwise" with "however" as the two clauses show a contrast (forecast said storms, but no rain).

Answer:

The correct conjunction to replace "otherwise" and link the ideas (showing contrast) is "however". So the corrected sentence would be: "The forecast predicted heavy storms in Wally West's area; however, not a single drop fell from the sky."
