Which part of speech is the underlined word in the following sentence ?
Yet, we are all making a whole range of decisions.
Answer: B
The underlined word Yet is a conjunction.
Here Yet means 'but nevertheless'. It links the sentence to the one before it in the passage and introduces a contrast: most of us think health is about hospitals, doctors and pills, yet we make many other health decisions. In this contrastive, linking use, yet is treated as a coordinating conjunction, like but.
Yet is an adverb when it means 'up to now', as in 'He has not come yet'. It is not a pronoun or a preposition.
