a. Ni taishite can also replace ni hanshite when ni hanshite connects two
propositions in opposition, as in [3] and [4].

The difference between the two is that when ni hanshite is used, the
connected propositions are in opposition but when ni taishite is used, the
connected propositions are contrastive but not necessarily in opposition.
Thus, in 151, where the two propositions are contrastive but not in oppo-
sition, only ni taishite is acceptable.
