If an author uses words like "As X sees it" or "According to," which type of keyword is being utilized?

  1. Contrast Keywords

  2. Evidence Keywords

  3. Opinion Keywords

  4. Emphasis Keywords

The correct answer is: Opinion Keywords

When an author uses phrases like "As X sees it" or "According to," they are indicating that they are introducing someone else's opinion or perspective. These phrases are used to attribute a particular viewpoint to someone else, making them opinion keywords. These keywords signal that the author is presenting a particular point of view, rather than making a statement of fact themselves. This makes the correct answer C, Opinion Keywords. Contrast keywords are used to highlight differences between ideas or perspectives. Evidence keywords are used to introduce support for a claim or argument. Emphasis keywords are used to highlight important points or ideas in the text.
