Underline the best transition words.
Maslowich

Once we underline the<u> best transition words</u>, we have the following:

Baseball is one of America's most popular sports. Some of its heroes, indeed, some very talented athletes shared their wealth to help other people. For example, Jackie Robinson was 28 when he started playing professional baseball in 1947 and played for 10 years. Likewise, Willie Mays was 20 when he started playing in 1951 and played for about 22 years. In fact, they played against each other in the 1954 World Series when Mays and the New York Giants scored 7 runs, and Robinson and the Brooklyn Dodgers scored 16.

We can define transition words as words used to<u> connect</u> other words, <u>phrases, ideas, sentences, or paragraphs</u>. Transition words help readers move forward through the text smoothly and help authors link their thoughts in an understandable way.

The transition word "indeed" can be used for<u> emphasis, agreement, or support.</u> In the text above, it is supporting and explaining that the heroes are very talented players.

The text moves on to offer two <u>examples</u> of very talented players, which is why we should choose the transition "for example."

After mentioning Robinson, the author mentions Mays, showing a similarity between the two. <u>To show similarity</u>, the best transition is "likewise".

Finally, the author adds the information that both players played against each other. <u>To add information</u>, "in fact" is the best option as a transition word.

In conclusion, the text above has been completed with the transition words that best suit its meaning.
