Most of the time, a singular word or phrase will not do the whole job of signposting. While signposting words help clarify what you are doing, you must include a sentence or phrase that will make the connection clearer.
My dog went outside yesterday. While in the yard, she kept barking and barking. Therefore, .....(why?)..... I fell down the stairs.
oWhile there is a signpost here (“Therefore”), these two sentences are not fully linked together.
oWhat phrase, dependent clause, or sentence/s could be used here to clarify the connection between these two sentences?
oThere is not one right answer. Be creative!

Ocean pollution continues to harm animal and plant life across the world. On the other hand, .....(why?) ..... Dale does not care.
