关于yet的用法

关于yet的用法,能否请多给出几个例子。谢谢!


114. From the bark of the paper birch tree the Menomini crafted a canoe about twenty feet long and two feet wide, with small ribs and rails of cedar, which could carry four persons or eight hundred pounds of baggage so light that a person could easily portage it around impeding rapids.


(A)  baggage so light


(B)   baggage being so light


(C)  baggage, yet being so light


(D)  baggage, and so light


(E)   baggage yet was so light


Choice E, the best answer, states that although the canoe could transport cargo of considerable weight, it was light:


a canoe . . . which could carry . . . yet was . . . light.... Here, the conjunction yet is appropriately and correctly used to link two verb phrases. Choices A and B do not use yet with a verb parallel to could carry and thus fail to express this contrast. Furthermore, both place adjectival constructions after baggage, illogically stating that the eight hundred pounds of baggage, rather than the canoe, was light. Choice C supplies yet but ungrammatically uses the participle being where was is required. Similarly, D omits the necessary verb after and; and here again, the use of and rather than yet fails to express the contrast.
