Anthony is quite capable in all academic areas, although not particularly self-motivated. usually, he doesn't care about his grades, but if there's a contest for the highest score on an assignment, he suddenly comes alive! immediately, his habits change as he studies for hours and digs up all kinds of minor facts about the subject. this explains why he brought home a blue ribbon from the science fair, yet made a d on his regular schoolwork.

what does the signal word yet tell you about anthony's work?

he has had a change of attitude and will do better in his schoolwork now.

his schoolwork and performance at the science fair compare.

there is a contrast between his schoolwork and his project for the science fair.

the science fair judges were not careful scorers.

There is a contrast between his schoolwork and his project for the science fair.

Explanation:

The word "yet" reinforces the facts described earlier in the passage.

The signal word "yet" states that, although he worked hard for science fair competition, yet he performed poorly in his regular school work because of lack of self-motivation. He needs to be motivated by tasks, competitions and challenges. He is not able to keep himself motivated throughout the regular schoolwork.

There is no hint to any change of attitude, he still had the same problem i.e performing poorly in regular schoolwork.

It is not comparison but it just proves that he lacks self-motivation in regular schoolwork.

It is not true that the science fair judges were not careful scorers. He got ribbon from the science fair only because he worked hard and was motivated to perform good.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
