Hey Greg, I didn’t understand TC SE session 3’s Homework question No. 4 which is - In the seventeenth century, direct flouting of a generally accepted system of values was regarded as_____, even as a sign of madness.
In this you have picked “even” which is yes comes under extreme words but “even as” is a contrast word, isn’t it?
Here ‘as’ is pointing to sign of madness. Basically the text gets broken as “in the …” + “even” + “as a sign of madness”.
We are telling whatever is on left of even was looked “as sign of madness”
