    Thanks! That's a great explanation.

    With the although, you know for sure that the statement after the first bit of it is definitely the speaker's opinion. With yet, I suppose it is kind of just a throw away point.

    Hmm I’m not sure “yet” functions much differently than “although” in this stimulus. The only crucial difference I see is that “yet” indicates a stipulation/concession of a continuous nature—meaning it’s connected to an idea that precedes it (example “but”). I think it could help to note that both of those sentences start off with a stipulation, but I don’t think we must dig in on those words much more than that to get to the MP. I hope that helps!
