Question

The assignment was originally due on Tuesday. However, the instructor changed the due date to Thursday.

Answer 1

The option that correctly combines the two sentences is option B. The assignment was originally due on Tuesday; however, the instructor changed to due date to Thursday. We can easily combine the two sentences with the use of the punctuation mark semicolon. This is used to indicate that there are two independent clauses in one sentence.

Answer 2

Answer:

The option that correctly combines the two sentences is B.

Explanation:

When you have a conjunctive adverb linking two independent clauses, you should use a semicolon. Then, after the conjunctive adverb, you should include a comma as it also functions as the introductory word to the second clause. That is why option B is the correct choice. There is a semicolon before  the conjunctive adverb however and a comma following it.
