Captions available
The idea
But and yet assert tension between the halves. Admonitory yet loving claims the passage both warns and cherishes, and that the two sit oddly together. If the passage shows no such tension, the option is wrong even when both attitudes are present in it somewhere.
In practice
But and yet assert a tension.
Where people slip
The conjunction is part of the claim.
