Answer 2

Answer: The conjunctive adverbs that are included in the sentences provided are:

1. "similarly"

2. "moreover"

3. "nevertheless"

4. "hence"

Step-by-step explanation: Conjunctive adverbs are adverbs used to join two independent clauses, that is to say clauses that can stand alone as sentences because they express a complete thought. In the sentences provided, the conjunctive adverbs are "similarly" (since it is connecting "Adam bought four pens" and "this sister Jenny bought four notepads"), "moreover" (since it is joining "John reached the wedding forty minutes late" and "he had forgotten to carry the groom’s tuxedo"), "nevertheless", which is connecting "Amy was suffering from a terrible headache" and "she continued preparing for her exams deep into the night", and "hence", which is joining "Felicity couldn’t afford the car she had dreamedof owning" and "she settled for a less expensive option".
