<span>The transition word is 'but' it allows the reader to understand there is another part to the sentence. That there is a cause and effect to the sentence.</span>
The answer has to be metaphor
A buck is a male deer or another name for a dollar.
I would say the second one- it sounds like a run on, but if you read them out loud, it's the one that sounds right. If you were to say the sentence, there's no sense in stopping and pausing your sentence after "bored". Honestly, they probably shouldn't have put the word "so" in either sentence because it doesn't flow well, but they probably did it that way to throw you off. The first one has an unnecessary pause, where the second one doesn't.
Good luck!!
