Question 1 which source would provide credible information about early efforts to stop elephant poaching?

a recent news article in national geographic magazine
a youtube video interview with a park ranger in kenya
a book published in 1970 by a soldier trained to protect elephants
an editorial article on nationalparkstraveler. com

question 2
read these two sentences:

the city's budget for youth-related projects has increased this year.
we have hopes that the new sports complex will be funded, finally.

which transition word correctly links the two sentences?
consequently
however
in contrast
whereas

Out of these options, the best source of information about early efforts to stop elephant poaching would be the book. There are two reasons for this. First, the book was written by a credible author: a soldier trained to protect elephants. Second, the book was published in 1970, which means it discusses the time period we are interested in.

Consequently is the right transition word. This word connects the first sentence (the cause) with the second one (the effect) by showing that the second action took place because of the first action.

the purpose of the heading in the passage is to identify who is telling the story.

this excerpt is part of the book sugar changed the world (2010) written by marc aronson and marina budhos. as the book has been written by two people, the heading "marc" indicates that this specific excerpt is being narrated by aronson. in the fragment, marc describes his grandfather's story after hearing it from his cousin. however, there are other excerpts where budhos is the one that tells the story of her family.

aronson and budhos, who are husband and wife in real life, decided to write sugar changed the world when they found out how sugar, which had an important role in slavery and economy, changed their ancestors' lives.
