Question

complete the text with the best transition. scientists should stop anti - aging research because drastically extending peoples lives is likely to have negative consequences for society as a whole. ____, artificially extending the human lifespan would mean an enormous increase in health care costs. options: in other words, as one example, regardless

Explanation:

The sentence after the blank provides a specific, concrete example of the negative societal consequence mentioned in the prior sentence. The phrase "As one example" is used to introduce such a specific illustration of a broader point. "In other words" would be used to rephrase the prior statement, which is not the case here.
