Explanation:

• "In conclusion" is a transition phrase used to conclude, so the first sentence starts with a transition.
• "Hey" is an interjection, not a transition, so the second sentence does not.
• The third sentence starts with a noun phrase, not a transition.
• "Consequently" is a transition word showing a result, so the fourth sentence starts with a transition.
• "For instance" is a transition phrase used to give an example, so the fifth sentence starts with a transition.

Answer:

• In conclusion, it is important to allow ample time for editing.
• Consequently, all projects must contain detailed citations.
• For instance, the average airspeed of birds is unexpected.
