Answer 1

It has an incorrect conjunction adverb. Hope this helped!

Answer 2

Answer: C) It has an incorrect conjunctive adverb.

Explanation: A conjunction is a word that has the function of connecting clauses, and to provide a good transition between ideas, when an adverb has the function to connect, we call them "conjunctive adverbs." In the given sentence the use of the conjunctive adverb "therefore" is incorrect, because we should use a conjunctive adverb that helps connect to contrary ideas, some correct options would be "however" or "Instead."
