Read the sentence about the Tennessee Valley Authority. The Tennessee Valley Authority erected 20 dams, ________ providing much-needed jobs for up to 40,000 workers. Which transition best completes the sentence?

The sentence says the TVA erected 20 dams and then describes a result: the work provided jobs for up to 40,000 people. “Eventually” can introduce a result that followed over time. “In addition to” does not fit the sentence structure, while “despite” and “because of” would make the relationship illogical.
