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.

Can people only be complete once they embrace their ancestral culture explain why
k0ka [10]

Answer: Not exactly.

Explanation: No, I wouldn't say people are only complete when they're aware of their ancestral culture. Many people have no idea who their great great great grandma was, or even know she existed. I think a lot of people are focused on the now, and either don't have time, or just wouldn't like knowing. It is a very good thing to be proud of your culture, and where you've come from, but it is not a necessity. You don't need to embrace your culture, or race, to be confident and proud of who you are.

<em>Side note: If this wasn't what you met, I'm sorry for any inconvenience!</em>
