Question

Complete the text with the transition that best connects the supporting evidence to

analysis of that evidence.
For the government to more accurately reflect the will of the people, more
Americans-especially the young and less wealthy-need to vote. Americans between
the ages of eighteen and twenty-four are less likely to vote than those over thirty-
five, and people who earn more than seventy-five thousand dollars a year are more
likely to vote than those who earn less than fifty thousand dollars.
older, wealthier Americans have a greater influence on our government-particularly
during midterm elections-simply because more of them vote.
Along the same lines
As a result
On the contrary

Answer 1

Answer: As a result

:)))

Answer 2

Answer: As a result.

Step-by-step explanation:

''As a result'' should be used as a transition when connecting phrases that show cause and effect because it would show that the effect is as a result of the cause/ scenario depicted first.

Here we see that older and wealthier Americans are more likely to vote and the effect of this is that they have a greater influence on government because they decide who gets political office. ''As a result'' would show the relationship between these two by showing that the effect is as a result of the cause.
