Explanation:

First Question (Connecting Independent Clauses with Conjunctive Adverb)

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 (period + conjunction) is for separating sentences or using subordinating conjunctions. Option b (comma + coordinating conjunction) is for coordinating conjunctions (FANBOYS). Option d (comma + conjunctive adverb) is incorrect as it lacks the semicolon before. So option c is correct.

Conjunctive adverbs (e.g., however, therefore, then) are used to show relationships like contrast (e.g., however), cause/effect (e.g., therefore), or sequence (e.g., then). So the statement is true.

Coordinating conjunctions are FANBOYS (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so). "Therefore" is a conjunctive adverb, not a coordinating conjunction. So the statement is false.

Answer:

c. semicolon + conjunctive adverb + comma
