Answer 1

Consequently

Step-by-step explanation:

In the dictionary Consequently is described as-

adverb

as a result.

"flexible workers find themselves in great demand, and consequently earn high salaries"

- and cause and effect is doing something like walking outside on a rainy day without a umbrella(cause) and then getting wet(effect). So as a result or consequently you got wet.

Answer 2

The correct answer is "Consequently"

Step-by-step explanation:

"Consequently" is a linking word used to show consequences or effects. In the case of the paragraph presented, this is used to show the action " her teacher took her test, put a big red zero across the top..." was a consequence or effect of "her looking at her neighbor's test". Additionally, the use of this linking word shows the text has a cause and effect because the author is explaining the effects of cheating and by using this linking word the author explicitly shows one action was the effect of another.
