Question

__ this technique won’t work for everyone, it helps many people get a good cache of ideas to draw on.

1. However

2. Although
Please help with the question I think it should be 2

Answer 1

The word "however" is a conjunctive adverb, not a conjunction. If you use it, you'll end up with a run-on.

The word "although" is a subordinate conjunction, If you use it, you will have a complex sentence, not a run-on.
