The history of the United States is filled with stories of individuals who, by taking risks, transformed the country. Some of these individuals were inventors, others were entrepreneurs, and still others were activists. The entrepreneur Henry Ford, for example, changed the way people traveled by perfecting a system of mass production for automobiles.
Which choice provides the most effective transition between the two sentences?
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The most effective transition is "For instance," because it introduces an example that illustrates the point made in the previous sentence. The previous sentence states that some individuals who took risks transformed the country, and the example of Henry Ford illustrates this point. The other choices are less effective. "As a result" suggests a cause-and-effect relationship, which is not present in the two sentences. "In addition" suggests that the example is additional information to the previous sentence, but the example is actually an illustration of the previous sentence. "Therefore" suggests a conclusion, but the example is not a conclusion.
