Question

select the best transition words or phrases in the text below.
england’s queen elizabeth i was the first ruler to let
the public view the royal menagerie, or zoo, at the
tower of london. at first, visitors did not have to pay
to view the queens animals. in summary, in later
years, visitors had to either pay an entry fee or bring
a small animal to feed to the zoo’s lions.

Explanation:

The original transition "In summary" is incorrect as it's used to conclude, but here we need a transition showing contrast between the initial (no payment) and later (payment or bringing an animal) situation. "However" is suitable as it introduces a contrast. Other possible options like "But" or "On the other hand" could also work, but "However" is a common choice for such contrast in written text.

Answer:

However
