E???

我选C。

C

But I remember one explanation one NN has said is that

yet ---- can mean " on the other hand"

another way to crack it.

first, from the comma before "and", I think should eliminited answer A D E. left B,C.

for the answer B and C, I am not sure which one is the best, but looks like haven't seen "Since" used following the main clause, usually it used before main clause.

all in all, sometime, we should pay more attention to the punctuations. They can show me some clue on how to crack the question. NN please give us some great idea. thanks

yet这里不是转折，是（一方面），另一方面的意思。
