Read the following passage from "What's in an Inkblot? Some Say, Not Much" and answer the questions that follow. Psychology has produced few more popular icons than the Rorschach inkblot test. Devised 80 years ago by a young Swiss psychiatrist, the Rorschach has entered the language as a synonym for anything ambiguous enough to invite multiple interpretations. And beyond its pop culture status, it has retained a central role in personality assessment, administered several hundred thousand times a year, by conservative estimates, to both children and adults. In custody disputes, for example, the test is used to help determine the emotional fitness of warring parents. Judges and parole boards rely on it for insight into a prisoner’s criminal tendencies or potential for violence. Clinicians use it in investigating accusation of sexual abuse, and psychotherapists, as a guide in diagnosing and treating patients. Yet almost since its creation, the inkblot test has also been controversial, with early critics calling it “cultish” and later ones deeming it “scientifically useless.” And in recent years, academic psychology departments have been divided over the merits of the test, and some have stopped teaching it.

Which words from the excerpt signal a contrast from one idea to the next?
A."And beyond its pop culture status, ..
." B."In custody disputes, for example, ...
" C."Yet almost since its creation, ..."
