Answer 1

The answer is B. Jean sees that on the flyer, they've printed the wrong date, so the conflict is that their flyer had the wrong information.

Answer 2

The correct answer is:

B. Jean sees that they promoted the event using the wrong information.

Explanation:

The conflict in the story is a struggle between two forces, used to capture the attention of the audience and to make the story interesting. It can be internal (the main character has a struggle with an inner force), or external (the main character has a struggle with an outside force). Conflicts can be between one or more characters, an external force, between the main character and the society, between the character and nature, etc.

In this excerpt, the conflict is external, the external force is presented as the wrong information about the Bingo Night in the flyer, which caused that people didn't assist to the event, and it is revealed when Jean realizes they printed the wrong date.
