Combine the two sentences

[afieq]

I need help from all of you with this question.
Combine the two sentences below using a logical connector. Then discuss what the new sentence means.

Wendy continued to speak.
She was very nervous.

[Kellogg]

I would connect those sentences like this:

Wendy continued to speak even though she was very nervous.

Although Wendy was very nervous, she continued to speak.

*****

I think that those new sentences mean something like:

Wendy was very nervous, but she did not let her nervousness stop her from speaking.
