Question

question 2 of 15
which word in this sentence is a conjunctive adverb?
although she practiced hard, lexi earned fourth place at the swim meet; nevertheless, she is determined to place first in the state finals.
a. nevertheless
b. first
c. at
d. although

Explanation:

A conjunctive adverb connects two independent clauses, showing a relationship like contrast. "Nevertheless" links the clause about Lexi's fourth place to her determination for first place, fitting this role. "First" is an adjective/ordinal number, "at" is a preposition, and "Although" is a subordinating conjunction, not a conjunctive adverb.

Answer:

A. nevertheless
