Question

Which word or phrase is a suitable replacement for the word or at the beginning of the second sentence in this excerpt?

A database is a collection of electronic information that can be accessed using a set of software commands. Or, a database is a set of organized information (electronic) manipulated by a software.
In other words
Possibly
Subsequently
Because of this
Perhaps

Answer 1

"In other words" is the answer in my opinion.

Answer 2

The correct option is the first one.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is IN OTHER WORDS because the second sentence is a paraphrasing of the first one. It says exactly the same by using different words.

The other options "possibly, subsequently, because of this, and perhaps" convey the meaning of possibility and consequence. Therefore, they are not suitable to join the two sentences provided.
