I would look into respectful competition
I think the incorrect pronoun shift would be the line "<span>before you adopt a pet". I think it should be before one adopts a pet. This is because the sentence started with "It is". The "you" made the sentence very confusing. The second pronoun should be singular, the pronoun you is often denoted as plural and not singular.</span>
Answer: A. Russell's sister takes after their mother, but he does not.
In the story, there is no implication of Russell not being obedient. He is so obedient he performs the job he hates everyday because his mother tells him to do so. There is also no sign of Russell's sister wanting to become a writer.
The author mentions that he has learned all of his mother's maxims as well, so that is not a difference between them. The difference is that his sister feels compelled to say them, and means them, because they align with what she thinks. This is because the sister is more similar to their mother than Russell.
The struggle or clash would be the conflict(C) because conflict is a disagreement or a clash of ideas.
