The correct answer is "The main conflict is almost always established in the first ten pages".
Explanation:
A novel is a piece of writing characterized by its complexity and length, portraying characters and situations that are commonly presented in a chronological manner. Presenting the main conflict in the first ten pages is not a common convention in a novel, because the main conflict is one of the last things presented in a story and a novel have a length that surpasses ten pages by far.
