In this segment if I interpret the second idea as “neutral” (“the topic it is meant to obscure” didn’t particularly strike me as negative) am I going wrong with my reasoning? Perhaps using semantics made more sense to me here.
In this one, I thought “In point of fact” (which to me is the same as saying “in fact”) was in contrast to the previous idea. Is “In point of fact” not the same as “In fact” (which is a contrasting phrase)?
So the first idea is positive, the in fact acts as a contrast, then the second idea (with the blank) should be negative right? Or is the “even” here changing something?
I don’t think I’ve gone far enough into the course to know about “even” and what not.
Thanks for your replies Max; to me, this is one of the best parts of the website. Do let me know if I can make my posts better somehow. I will probably be posting often.
