Question

According to a recent study, 22 percent of tweens and teenagers log on to their social media accounts more than 10 times each day, while over half log on more than once daily. Social media can lead to serious dangers for teens, such as "cyberbullying, privacy issues, and sexting” (O’Keeffe and Clarke-Pearson 800).

__________ tweens and teenagers can be taught how to protect their privacy. Privacy measures can be an effective method to prevent cyberbulling.

Which transition would be best to use in the passage?

Despite the fact that
First,
However,
More importantly,

Answer 1

"However,"

This provides the right contrast: after listing dangers, it signals that despite those risks, tweens and teens can still be taught privacy-protecting behaviors. ("Despite the fact that" would be awkward here; "First," and "More importantly," don't fit the intended contrast.)
