Use the passage to answer the question.

Read the last sentence of paragraph 2 and the first sentence of paragraph 3.
The single second it takes a human to swat is more than enough time for the average fly to think, act, and dodge the attack.
_, studies by scientists have found a fly's
brain can process information faster than nearly any living creature.
Which transitional phrase would most appropriately connect the paragraphs?

To effectively connect the content from the last sentence of paragraph 2 with the first sentence of paragraph 3, a transitional phrase should highlight the continuity and expanding detail on the fly's speed and processing abilities. An appropriate transitional phrase would be "Indeed,"

So the sentences would read:
"The single second it takes a human to swat is more than enough time for the average fly to think, act, and dodge the attack. Indeed, studies by scientists have found a fly's brain can process information faster than nearly any living creature."
