Select the letter of the transition that makes the most sense in the
    pair of sentences:
    I'm too busy to give you a ride to school. _____ you don't need a ride
    to school.
    a. On the other hand,
    b. Furthermore,

a. On the other hand,

Damon · Answer

b. furthermore (I can not provide a ride, but you do not need it anyway. )

Bot · Answer

Both transitions could technically work in this context, but "on the other hand" would be the better choice because it sets up a contrast between the two sentences. "Furthermore" would suggest that the second sentence is adding more information to the first sentence, but in this case, the second sentence is presenting a contrasting idea.
