Question 1

Because of his longstanding reputation with the board of trustees, he did not have to make the normally required presentation of his proposal, therefore, the board was accused of failing to follow due process.

    Correct Answer: C

    In this sentence, 'therefore' serves as a conjunctive adverb that links two independent clauses. When a conjunctive adverb joins two independent clauses, a semicolon (;) is needed before the conjunctive adverb and a comma (,) follows it. Therefore, 'his proposal; therefore, the board' is the grammatically correct choice.
