The transition word or phrase that would go at the beginning of the second sentence to show how the ideas are connected is "because".
To arrive at this answer, we examine the two sentences given: "Mike kept begging his parents for a cell phone" and "They agreed he could use his allowance to buy one."
We can see that the second sentence provides an explanation or reason for why Mike's parents agreed to his request. The word "because" is commonly used to introduce a causal relationship or reasoning. Therefore, "because" is the appropriate transition word to connect the two ideas together in a cause-and-effect manner.
