Read the paragraph.Music is an important element of a student’s education. One study says that schools with music programs had graduation rates of about ninety-three percent. In schools without music programs, the graduation rate dropped to around seventy-two percent.

“Conversely” signals a contrast. The paragraph first says schools with music programs had graduation rates of about 93%, then contrasts them with schools without music programs, where the rate was about 72%. “Finally” signals the last point, “similarly” signals a resemblance, and “specifically” introduces a detail, so “Conversely” fits best.
