Explanation:

Supporting signals, better known as signal words, serve the purpose of guiding a reader or an audience through a speech or text to better understand the ideas and goals of the writer or speaker. There are two types of signal words, the first, are known as supporting signal words, or more commonly, straight-ahead signposts, and the second are known as detour signposts.
