Question

Read the passage from “A Cat Is Not a Can of Soup.” A family friend wanted only a purebred dog, so he refused to go to the shelter. Instead he paid hundreds of dollars to a breeder. Which is the conjunctive adverb?

Conjunctive adverbs show relationships between two clauses, including whether two things contrast or cause and effect. The word "instead" is the conjunctive adverb because it shows a contrasting relationship.
