In American society, romantic love is considered the main reason for people to marry. On the other hand, in some societies, romantic love is considered a form of obsession or madness. In fact, even in many societies where "true love" is not considered a form of insanity, arranged marriages are still the norm. For example, in many cultures it's believed that marriage is basically an economic arrangement. Thus, a farmer needs a wife both to bear children and to share the farm work while raising new "hands" as additional farm labor. In other societies, marriage is mainly about cementing connections between families. Indeed, most marriages between members of European royal or aristocratic lineages were primarily aimed at creating trust, loyalty, and mutual obligations between privileged and powerful families. 10. In the passage you just read, a basic contrast regarding ideals about marriage is signaled by which word or phrase? A. In fact B. In other societies C. On the other hand D. For example

Answers

The question is referring to a contrast so the proper phrase would be "on the other hand". 
This phrase means something along the lines of "looking at the other side" which refers to the other situation or event.
In fact means giving a true example
In other societies means examples of ideas from other places
For example is just giving an example

A man is on a game show. he is presented with two doors, one on the left, and one on the right. behind one is 2 million dollars, and behind the other is a donkey. choose the correct door to win the prize. there are also two men in front of the doors, and they know which door leads to the millions. one wears a black hat, the other wears a white hat. the host explains that one of the men is a liar, and will always lie, and the other man will always tell the truth - but you don't know which is which. you can only ask one of the men only one question. what is the question, and which man do you ask to ensure you win the money?

Answers

Ask either of the men who are in front of the doors: "If you were the other man, which door would you tell me leads to the 2 million dollars?" 

The truth-teller, positioning himself as a liar, will say the door which does not have the 2 million dollars.
The liar, positioning himself as a truth-teller, will also say the door which does not have the 2 million dollars because he is a liar.
