Answer 2

Answer:

The line in this excerpt from act V of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet that shows the conflict of person versus self is C: "My poverty, but not my will, consents."

Explanation:

By reading this line, we can see how uncomfortable the apothecary feels by giving the drug to Romeo. He is a poor man and needs the money Romeo will pay for the drug, but morally he thinks it is not the right thing to do. He feels he is selling himself and his believes in order to make money. The situation of the apothecary shows a conflict between his personal economic situation and his believes.
