The purpose of transitional words is to connect ideas, sentences, and paragraphs in any piece of writing or speeches in order to make the ideas flow smoothly and better.

There are a variety of transitional words and each of them have a role: some are used to express contrast (like<em> on the contrary, however, notwithstanding</em>), others to denote time (<em>after, at last, before</em>), to add more information to a previous point (<em>furthermore, besides, moreover</em>), to show similarity (<em>likewise, similarly, in like fashion</em>), to illustrate a point or give examples (<em>for instance, for example, to illustrate</em>), etc.

Answer:Transitions are words and phrases that provide a connection between ideas, sentences, and paragraphs. Transitions help to make a piece of writing flow better. They can turn disconnected pieces of ideas into a unified whole, and prevent a reader from getting lost in the storyline.

vitfil [10]
<span><span>Sight-
Her raven black hair, still dripping after the shower, left a cascade of water spots trickling down the back of her white t-shirt.</span><span>SoundWe woke up sluggish, tired from last night's ruckus. Our new puppy restlessly wandered around the house, his nails clicking over the wood floor like tap-dancing beetles, and his incessant, sharp-pitched whining filled all the corners of the house.
</span><span>Taste-
Ugh, I hate when the sour taste of sweat drips into my mouth during practice.
</span><span>Touch-
Her sweater was so soft, reminding me of a velvety smooth bunny or a wispy cotton ball. I was surprised it wasn't cashmere.
</span><span>Smell- 
<span>I made sure to chew gum before my interview. I love the smell of minty breath; that sweet, icily refreshing scent is always sure to calm me down and help me focus.</span></span></span>
