Answer:

The correct answer is: A conjunctive adverb.

Step-by-step explanation:

A conjunctive adverb is able to join two complete ideas, examples of conjunctive adverbs are:

  • also
  • besides
  • consequently
  • finally
  • furthermore
  • however
  • indeed
  • instead
  • likewise
  • meanwhile
  • otherwise
  • nevertheless
  • next

And more.

With conjunctive adverbs you use semicolons and not commas to connect the two clauses. Look at the following example in order for you to fully understand:

Louis’ apartment does not allow dogs and cats; otherwise, she would have had one with her since she moved in there.
