Question

Read these two sentences:

I can see the point of those who argue that space projects should be a national priority.
I also see the problem with spending millions with so many other social problems that need solving.

Which transition word correctly links the two sentences?
Consequently

Conversely

Specifically

Regardless

Answer 1

The correct transition word to link the two sentences would be conversely.

Answer 2

The writer is presenting two ideas that are completely opposite, and he argues that he supports both of the ideas mentioned. A transition that links both sentences in a correct way should convey the sense of contrast between one idea and the other. Therefore, the correct answer is that appropriate transition word to use is conversely.
