The quote with a conjunctive adverb that is punctuated correctly is option D. I consoled myself with the hope that I should one day find a good chance. Meanwhile, I would learn to write. The word "meanwhile" is an example of a conjunctive adverb. The word "meanwhile" is already used; therefore, there is no need to use the word "and" because a conjunctive adverb connects two different independent sentences.
