The Federal Reserve bond buyback program has buoyed Wall Street, and helped the stock market reach record highs, but yet to translate into consistent job growth across the country.

a. and helped the stock market reach record highs, but yet to translate into consistent job growth across the country

b. helped the stock market reach record highs, but it has yet to translate into consistent job growth across the country

c. helped the stock market reach record highs, and has not translated into consistent job growth across the country

d. and helped the stock market reach record highs, but it has yet to translate into consistent job growth across the country

e. and helped the stock market reach record highs, but has not translated into consistent job growth across the country


Can we use but and yet in the same sentence? I thought they both [spoiler]show contrast so they can't be [/spoiler]used in same sentence.
I'm no expert, just trying to work on my skills. If I've made any mistakes please bear with me.

nice Question..I am hoping the answer is B??
"But" here def shows contrast but I am not sure if "yet" does in this case... Anyone help??

Can you share the OA ?

Good question Hemant - like a lot of English words, "yet" has a couple meanings. Among them are:

Transition

All indications are that the economy should be booming, yet the major stock indexes haven't moved.

Period of Time

Have you eaten lunch yet?

You can combine them when there's a time factor involved:

All indications are that the economy should be booming, but the major stock indexes have yet to increase in value.

In this sentence, "but" expresses the transition and "yet" expresses the idea that while something probably should happen it hasn't happened up to this point.


So in the question below, it is certainly possible to use both "but" (to express transition) and "yet" (to show that the program hasn't worked to date) together.

Is the answer to that question D?

Yes, the answer is D. That "but" in there necessitates that you link the first two things that the program *did* do with an "and", and then start a new thought after "but". It's like saying:

"I like biking and swimming, but I don't like running."

If you try to say that without the "and" you're not completing the thought of what you like. And because you've finished that thought, you need a new clause to begin the new thought after "but".
