Read the sentence from “Raymond's Run.” I take my time getting to the park on May Day because the track meet is the last thing on the program. Which word in this sentence is a transition?

“Because” is a transition word here because it connects the speaker’s taking her time with the reason she does so: the track meet is last on the program. “Program,” “take,” and “park” name things or actions rather than show the relationship between ideas.
