=== Transition words ===
* translate the transition words into your own language
** ex., "nevertheless" = "yeah, but" or "anyway"
* identify if any two transition words are synonymous
** if both mean the same thing, they can't both be right, so eliminate
** ex., "However" and "Yet" = synonymous, so eliminate
* identify if the transition word is generally positive or negative, i.e,
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:75%">
