Answer 1

The correct transition phrase to complete the sentence is "as a result." 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 cause-and-effect relationship between the two clauses.
