A student is writing instructions on how to start a club at school. The student wants to revise the draft to include better transitions. Read the draft of the instructions and complete the task that follows.

Even though there are quite a few steps that have to be followed to start a club on campus, many students will appreciate and benefit from your efforts. First, you need to make sure that there are enough students on campus that are interested in your club. You will have to eventually elect officers, and if there are not enough members, this will be impossible to do. You need to find a teacher on campus who is willing to be your advisor. Ideally, this teacher would be actually interested in what your club is doing, but this is not absolutely necessary. Next, you will write a petition to the ASB class expressing your desire to start this new club and what it is all about. They will vote on it and decide if it is worthy of being a club on campus. If they approve it, you officially have your club established. However, the work is not done. At one of the first meetings, you will need to submit your club constitution, budget for the year, and vote on your officers. All of this important information needs to be submitted to the ASB in a prompt manner.

The best choice to improve the transition between the two underlined sentences is:

B. Once you are sure you will have enough students to fulfill all of the officer roles,
