Substitution of "Yet" for "Even so"

Gabarito: C (Certo). The conjunction "Yet" and the adverbial phrase "Even so" both express contrast or concession. In the given sentence, "Yet" introduces a contrast between the need for water and the freezing of facilities. Replacing it with "Even so" preserves the contrastive meaning without altering the logical relationship.

Explanation: "Yet" is a coordinating conjunction meaning "but" or "nevertheless". "Even so" is an adverbial phrase used to introduce a statement that contrasts with what has been said before. Both signal that the following clause is unexpected in light of the preceding clause. Therefore, the substitution does not change the meaning.

The item is correct.
