Pretest

Question 12 • English II

Read the last paragraph of an argument in favor of censoring content on social media. _____ social media content can be offensive, violent, and vicious. In many cases it has led to harmful acts. Censorship of social media is no longer a topic for philosophical debate. It is time to take action to protect ourselves and our children. Which transitional words or phrases best fit in the blank? Choose two correct answers.

Answer
A
In conclusion,
B
As a result,
C
To summarize,
D
Because
E
Similarly,

Explanation

The paragraph wraps up the argument and restates its main point: social media can cause harm, so action is needed. “In conclusion” and “To summarize” both signal that the writer is bringing the argument to a close. “As a result” suggests a consequence, while “Because” and “Similarly” do not fit the sentence’s role here.
