2. Contrast transitions like "But this proved", "But then" show the failure of each step, advancing the sequence of events over time.
3. The final phrase "Back where he started" closes the cycle of his efforts, emphasizing the passage of time spent on his unsuccessful attempts.

Answer:

The slide show uses sequential transitional words/phrases ("First", "But this proved", "Then he tried", "But then", "Back where he started") to show the linear progression of Gregor's failed attempts to get out of bed, marking the passing of time through his successive, unsuccessful actions.
