Explanation: The words/phrases listed in the options given are known as connectives. Connectives are phrases or words that are used to connect one idea to the next idea. When applied within a paragraph (or even within a sentence), connectives express the relationship between the main idea and the supporting ones.

Using connectives helps papers to be read more smoothly while providing logical structure and maintaining a continuous flow of thoughts.

The four phrases indicating similarity include: as well as, both, likewise and similarly. Though likewise, as well as and similarly could also express addition.
