What function do keywords like "Because" or "Since" serve in a passage?

Numerical Keywords
Temporal Keywords
Evidence Keywords
Contrast Keywords

The correct answer is: Evidence Keywords

Keywords like "Because" or "Since" serve as evidence keywords in a passage. These words are used to provide reasons or evidence to support the statements or arguments made in the passage. By using these keywords, the author is signaling to the reader that they are about to present supporting evidence for a claim made earlier. This helps to strengthen the argument and make it more convincing to the reader. In contrast, numerical keywords (option A) would be specific numbers or quantities, temporal keywords (option B) would indicate time or sequence, and contrast keywords (option D) would signal conflicting or opposing information. These types of keywords serve different functions compared to evidence keywords.
