Answer 1

The correct answer is **B. In fact.**The final paragraph provides additional supporting information about the World Cup's popularity. The Style Guide lists "In fact" as a transition that introduces new supporting ideas. The other options don't fit the meaning of the paragraph. "As a result" and "Consequently" imply a cause-and-effect relationship, while "In contrast" implies a contrasting idea, none of which is present.
