Answer:

On the contrary

Explanation:

I just took the test and this is the original passage:

No matter what people say, every act of kindness is in fact purely selfish. Even large gifts to charity feel good to the giver. Whatever beneficial effects to others these gifts produce, it is the personal satisfaction that motivates them. However, this does not mean that charity does no good. On the contrary, selfishly motivated giving has done a lot of good in the world.

The question and answer choices were:

- Whatever

- However

- On the contrary

Select the sentence that is punctuated correctly.
rosijanka [135]
B. 
<span>Unemployment is high in many fields, but there are jobs available in telecommunications.


A comma is used when it is placed after the end of one independent clause and the beginning of another which follows one such clause. The two independent clauses must be joined with words known as co-ordinating conjunctions. Examples of such words are, but, and,or so etc. 
In this sentence but is used, </span>preceded by a comma so it is the right one.

Reverend Buckminster licked his lips. "What were you doing on Malaga Island?"
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

The opposing forces are Rev. Buckminster and his son Turner Buckminster.

It is a man vs man/ individual vs. individual/ person vs person conflict.

The conflict is related to the setting for the story happens during the racist prejudice era.

Explanation:

The conflict in a narrative story is the contrast in the forces or elements in play. These opposing forces try to suppress each other, further forwarding the plot.

The conflict in the passage from the story "Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy" by Gary D. Schmidt is between Turner Buckminster and his father Rev, Buskminster. The Rev. does not like his son hanging around with people such as Lizzie, who are of a colored section. The setting of the story being during the racism, Turner had been prevented by his father to stay away from the colored people. But rather than doing what he's told, he began to hang around more and more with Lizzie. Thus, the opposing forces of the conflict are the father and son.

The type of conflict is man vs. man or individual/ person vs. individual/person. This type of conflict happens when a man or an individual have conflicting interests from another individual.

The conflict in this scene is related to the setting for the interests of the two individuals are different from each other. Since the theme of racial discrimination is prevalent in the story, the conflict in the two individuals' beliefs also led to the further advancement of the story.
