Answer 1

The correct transition phrase to complete the sentence is "as a result."

So the complete sentence would read: "I broke my cell phone when I dropped it. As a result, I will have to borrow someone's phone or buy a new one."

This phrase indicates a consequence of the action mentioned in the first part of the sentence.
