<span>While walking on the beach the author realized what is wrong with poetry. Collins begins to explain that one poet wrote a poem and people liked it so it made even more people become poets. Now EVERYONE thinks they are poets. He goes on to say that it will end when people realize that poets do not write anything of actual substance. Eventually the rise of poets will die down and they will hold their heads down low.</span>

Which transition word best connects the ideas in this paragraph?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
The second point in the paragraph about children provides more support for the overall topic: noise pollution. because it's offering more evidence that noise pollution is an issue, "furthermore" is your best choice as a transition. "for instance" would suggest that you're giving an example of something, as in a specific case in which a child's education suffered. "however" suggests a shift, usually describing an exception, and the point of the children's education is not an exception--it's further evidence. "consequently" suggests that you'd carry on to tell the reader about an effect of a circumstance.
