Mainly adverb questions
Hi. Would you help me on these?
1. What would be the difference between these?
They found the treasure, yet they didn't take it.
They found the treasure, and yet they didn't take it.
2. What is the difference? I think there is a part that could be assumed to be there, that is the part "who are," and that makes me wonder if having two restrictive clauses one after the other without any punctuation is correct or not. On second thoughts, I think the words "near" and "far" are acting as adverbs and are not part of a restrictive clause.
They tried not to disregard neighbors near or far who had dire need.

Thank you for helping me.
Could we safely say that the words in parentheses could be assumed to be there?
They tried not to disregard neighbors (who are) near or far who had dire

No, the clause is not 'assumed'; it is just another way of expressing it. No conjunction is required. In fact, offhand I would say that no grammer is required to adjust to anything that is 'assumed'.
