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.

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.

Explanation:

In the Nose, the strange and humorous story written by Gogol, the main character (Kovaloff) wakes up one day to find that he no longer is in possession of his own nose and, later, he finds out that the nose has been around in town and, socially, it seems to be more successful than Kovaloff himself. In the passage above, one can see that Kovaloff is intimidated by the nose since he ponders the social standing that the nose seems to have earned so quickly, and this makes him nervous and insecure, so much so that he has to gather his courage to barely mutter a few questions to it.
