<b><font color=greenblack>HINT</font><br/></b>
*</b>How are the two clauses related?
*A good ___location for a break is about half-way through (see the <font color=crimson>red text</font> below).
*You ''could'' start your new, second sentence with “This ...”.
*However, being singular, “this” could refer back to any of the four singular items in the first <br/>sentence: “Gregorian chant”, “best-known repertory”, “plainchant”, or “a form of monophonic, <br/>unaccompanied sacred song”. That would be very fuzzy.
*To make it clear, you’ll need to restate one of these items at the start of your new sentence.
<br/><b>Gregorian chant is the best-known repertory of plainchant, a form of monophonic, <br/>unaccompanied sacred so<font color=crimson>ng, which</font> was developed in the Catholic Church, mainly in <br/>western and central Europe during the period 800–1000, with later additions and redactions.

*</b>Since the second clause in no way contradicts the first, comma + "and", or a semicolon will do the trick.
