__________________________ i think people should be able to get their licenses at a younger age.

Explanation:

The first blank is for introducing a reason, so "To begin with" fits. The second blank is introducing an example (babysitting as a sign of responsibility), so "For instance" is correct. The third blank is also introducing a reason, "In addition" works. The fourth blank is a conclusion - like statement, "In conclusion" is appropriate.
