Rachel is describing an event in a narrative piece she is writing. Which sentence uses a transitional word that best indicates a shift from one time frame to another? It took us an hour to paddle over to the other side of the lake and back.

When we made it back to shore, we were exhausted but happy to be back on land.

Kayaking on the lake is fun, but we didn't realize how far we had gone.

Since then, we have decided to kayak along the shoreline on this side of the lake.

"It took us an hour to paddle over to the other side of the lake and back" uses a transitional word that best indicates a shift from one timeframe to another.

Explanation:

Transitional word is a connector which connects two separate sentences into one. In the given example, the sentence exactly conveys a meaning that it took one hour to paddle from one side to other and vice versa. Mostly transition words are conjunctions that combines words, phrases or clauses. These transition words can be used within a single sentence. They can also used to combine two different sentences or even paragraphs.
