Question

Mike kept begging his parents for a cell phone. They agreed he could use his allowance to buy one. Which transition word or phrase would go at the beginning of the second sentence to show how the ideas are connected? (However, because, at first, eventually)

Answer 1

In this context, the best transition word to use at the beginning of the second sentence is "eventually." This indicates that after much begging, the parents reached a decision that allowed Mike to use his allowance to buy a cell phone. The overall sentence would be:

"Mike kept begging his parents for a cell phone. Eventually, they agreed he could use his allowance to buy one."
