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:

Which word or phrase from the passage signals a contrasting thought?

- No matter

- Whatever

- However

- On the contrary

D. was the correct answer.

Read this excerpt from the Declaration of Independence.
Andrews [41]

The statement that best describes the excerpt is "This is the minor premise of the Declaration of Independence," as stated in option A and explained below.

<h3>What is a minor premise?</h3>

A premise is an affirmation or statement that functions as the basis for a conclusion. We can have a major premise and a minor premise. Take a look at the examples below:

  • Some animals are mammals. --> Major premise.
  • All cats are mammals. --> Minor premise.
  • Some animals are cats. --> Conclusion.

As we can see above, the minor premise is related to the major premise. With that in mind, we can see that the excerpt from the Declaration of Independence is a minor premise. It is related to the major premise that the 13 colonies should break free from England.

With the information above in mind, we can choose option A as the correct answer.

I need some simple example of a hardships in a family !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'!!!
Monica [59]
A family is composed of persons related by blood. As a family, it is inevitable not to experience hardships and struggles. Some examples of these hardships are misunderstanding due to miscommunication. Family members tend to get involved in conflicts because they fail to communicate thus they fail to understand. Individual differences can be a reason because though family members are related by blood it does not guarantee that everyone shall understand everybody because  everybody's unique. Financial instability is also another hardship that is commonly  experience within a family.
