Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer would be option B, Pseudo Conflict.

Explanation:

A Pseudo Conflict is a conflict in which the both parties are in an agreement but their misunderstandings and wrong perceptions prevents them from seeing that they are in an agreement.

So while fighting with your newly wed bride, if you say that i don't know why we even got married, we are so different, you are actually demonstrating Pseudo Conflict, because you are still in an agreement which is marriage, but due to your fight, your misunderstandings and wrong perceptions are preventing you to see that you both are in an agreement. This type of conflict can be resolved by simply clarifications of each partner's views.

Answer 2

b) pseudo-conflict.

Explanation:

A pseudo conflict happens when two parts of a discussion are actually in agreement but they fail to see that they agree due to diverse situations, in this case, they are both in agreement but fail to see it because they are angry, the newlywed couple can´t see that they are in agreement because they are angry at each other.
