Albert has always disliked Phil. Inviting him to the party: therefore would be a bad idea.

Answer 1

Answer:
Albert has always disliked Phil. Inviting him to the party, therefore, would be a bad idea.

Explanation:

The first sentence is a complete thought. The next (second sentence) is a sentence with a conclusion, so using a comma with “therefore” completes the full thought. (the sentence)

Usually, when using transition words such as therefore, however, and so, etc., you use a comma in front of them.
