This question is missing the answer choices. I have found the complete question online. The choices are the following:

A. By the same token.

B. On the contrary.

C. In addition to.

D. In this case.

The transition phrase which best connects the ideas is:

C. In addition to.

Explanation:

According to the passage, more than one thing happened when the city of Philadelphia became active once again. We need to find a transition that will convey that idea of addition - "besides shops opening and people coming out of their homes, ships began to sail on the river." The best transition is "in addition to," which means basically the same as "besides".

Let's see what the sentence looks like with "in addition to":

When the fever seemed to be near an end, the city of Philadelphia became active once again. In addition to shops opening and people coming out of their homes, ships began to sail on the river.
