- 2.Add the best transition: "The study found clear results. ___, several schools changed their policy."
- 3.Choose the better transition word: "Some worry about the cost. ___, the long-term savings outweigh it." Pick between "Similarly" and "However."
- 4.Find and rewrite two informal phrases from your own week-4 draft in a more formal tone.
- 5.True or false: using more transition words always makes writing better, even if the relationship they signal is wrong.
