Question

read the last paragraph of an argument in favor of censoring content on social media. ______ social media content can be offensive, violent, and vicious. in many cases it has led to harmful acts. censorship of social media is no longer a topic for philosophical debate. it is time to take action to protect ourselves and our children. which transitional words or phrases best fit in the blank? select two options. ☐ as a result, ☐ because ☐ in conclusion, ☐ similarly, ☐ to summarize,

Explanation:

This is the final paragraph of an argument, so transitional phrases that signal a conclusion or summary are appropriate. "In conclusion," directly introduces a closing statement for an argument. "To summarize," also functions to wrap up key points before a final call to action, which matches the paragraph's structure. "As a result" shows a direct effect, which does not fit the opening of a concluding paragraph. "Because" introduces a cause, which would reverse the logical flow here. "Similarly" draws a comparison, which is irrelevant to this closing section.

Answer:

C. In conclusion,
E. To summarize,
