10. Write a paragraph of 3-5 sentences that uses transitions to show a comparison and contrast relationship between ideas. (Hint: Your response should include the appropriate transition words.)

There are several similarities and differences between cats and dogs. First of all, both cats and dogs are pets that are commonly kept in households. However, while cats are known for their independent and aloof behavior, dogs are more social and affectionate. Additionally, cats are generally low-maintenance and require minimal attention, whereas dogs require frequent exercise and interaction. Overall, the decision between a cat and a dog as a pet ultimately depends on an individual's lifestyle and preferences.

This is a good start and does show transitions. However, it is a choppy paragraph. Can you adjust how you use the transitions?
