Therefore?
The living room is the warm heart of the family and ( therefore; nevertheless) often slightly stuffy to a middle-class visitor. The answer is therefore , but I think it should be nevertheless because the two independant sentences have a transitional relation rather than a cause -effect relatiion. Am I right? Thanks!

"and" suggests "therefore" rather than "nevertheless"; with "nevertheless" we would normally expect "but". Apart from that clue, I have no idea what the relationship between the two statements is supposed to be. I have no idea why being "the warm heart of the family" should, or shouldn't, make a room "stuffy to a middle-class visitor".
