which transitional word should the group add to the blank to most logically connect the ideas?
a. consequently
b. however
c. additionally
d. meanwhile

Explanation:

The paragraph lists two ways air pollution harms city residents: respiratory problems from fine particles and contaminated drinking supplies from pollutants in rainwater. "Additionally" is used to add another related point, which fits here. "Consequently" implies a result, "However" shows contrast, and "Meanwhile" refers to simultaneous events, none of which fit the context of adding another harm.
