    E All 1, 2 & 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The sentences share a contradictory relationship - A tells us that China has more dams than the rest of the world combined and it also has the single largest one, and B contradicts it by telling us that China’s dam construction is not just about national pride. 1 is correct as BUT is used to show contradiction - “China not only has more large dams in operation than the rest of the world combined; it also has the single largest, but China’s dam construction is not just about national pride.” 2 is correct as YET is used to show contradiction - “China not only has more large dams in operation than the rest of the world combined; it also has the single largest, yet China’s dam construction is not just about national pride.”
