people who donate listen to their social conscience. conscience is the inner sense of what is right or wrong in ones actions or motives, influencing you to the right action. research by a charity organization, the british - based organization caf, showed that 96% of donors felt they had a moral duty to help others. they felt like they had to use what they had for others. this feeling is deeply rooted in ones personal values and beliefs. people who start donating encourage these values that feel close to their beliefs.

what is the authors prevailing perspective on charity, and how is this perspective supported in the text?
a charity is a social obligation, supported by the claim that donating stems from a sense of moral duty and conscience.
b charity is only beneficial to recipients, supported by examples of how donations assist those in need.
c charity is an unnecessary action, supported by the argument that not everyone has the means to give money.
d charity benefits both donors and recipients, supported by the emotional rewards and various ways people can contribute.

Explanation:

The text states that donating to causes one cares about "not only benefits the charities but also rewards you". It also mentions how helping others makes donors feel good (empowered, happier, fulfilled) and that people can contribute in various ways (money, time, skills). This supports the idea that charity benefits both donors (emotional rewards) and recipients (help from donations). Option A only focuses on donors' moral duty (too narrow). Option B says "only beneficial to recipients" which is wrong as text mentions donor rewards. Option C is incorrect as text promotes charity.

Answer:

D. Charity benefits both donors and recipients, supported by the emotional rewards and various ways people can contribute.
