Read the passage and answer the question that follows. 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. which word or phrase from the passage signals a contrasting thought? "no matter" "whatever" "however" "on the contrary"

"On the contrary"

Explanation:

In this passage, the expression "on the contrary" indicates the introduction of a contrasting thought. This is because the phrase signals that the previous idea will be in opposition to the idea that is about to be presented. In this case, the first idea states that charity does no good because it is selfish. However, the second statement introduces the contrasting thought that selfishly motivated giving actually does a lot of good in the world.
