If an author uses the term "Nevertheless" in a passage, what type of keyword is being used?

  1. Contrast Keyword

  2. Opinion Keyword

  3. Emphasis Keyword

  4. Illustration Keyword

The correct answer is: Contrast Keyword

When an author uses the term "Nevertheless" in a passage, they are typically indicating a shift in the direction of the argument or a contrast between two ideas. The term "Nevertheless" often signals that the author is about to introduce a contrasting viewpoint or idea to what has been previously discussed. In this context, "Nevertheless" is functioning as a contrast keyword, highlighting a shift or contradiction in the passage's narrative. It serves to emphasize the difference or discrepancy between two points, making choice A the correct answer. On the other hand, the terms "Opinion Keyword," "Emphasis Keyword," and "Illustration Keyword" do not align with the function typically associated with the term "Nevertheless" in a passage.
