Jan Bishop · Answer 2

D) while

Explanation:

Transition words are those that establish relations of meaning between expressions, phrases, sentences or paragraphs. In this case, the word "while" makes a transition that establishes a meaningful relationship between the phrase "many elders are engaged in activities such as religious groups and voluntary organizations" and the phrase "others remain isolated from the community."
