In a passage about agricultural policy, a sentence reading 'Yet, this reform faced opposition from a minority of state farmers' most likely serves to:
AEstablish the writer's own opposition to the reform
BConclude the passage by summarising the main argument
CIntroduce a qualification or counterpoint to the policy claim
DProvide statistical evidence supporting the reform
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Introduce a qualification or counterpoint to the policy claim
The signal word 'Yet' marks a contrast or qualification. A single mid-passage sentence introduced by 'Yet' typically qualifies the main claim by acknowledging a counterpoint.
