Answer 1

The answer to your question is: Because signals a cause and as a result signals an effect.

The word "because" introduces a cause that leads to an effect, and the phrase "as a result" indicates the effect that follows from the cause mentioned before. Therefore, both transitions signal different purposes in the sentence.
