Read this paragraph. Claire marveled at her little brother’s flawless dive. It looked effortless now, but she knew he had spent

weeks perfecting the arch of his body and the point of his toes. She wanted to have a dive like that—the type people stop and watch. Still, she could not bring herself to attempt it. After all, her brother’s first twenty or so dives had been awful, with knees and elbows flailing. Claire shuddered to imagine looking like that in clear view of the entire pool population. And the whole head-first concept seemed intimidating. She wondered if her hands would reach the bottom of the pool. Maybe some day. But for now, she decided she would just watch. What is the conflict in the excerpt? character versus self character versus character character versus society character versus nature

It seems to be character vs self since Claire is putting herself down with her insecurities.

Answer: I would contend that the right answer is the A) Character versus self.  

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that it is her own (baseless) insecurity, self-conciousness, and fear of failure the ones that are preventing Claire from trying to achieve the type of "flawless dive" that she longs for and that her brother has achieved, which reflects a character versus self conflict. She is not critical with her brother, although she recognizes that it took him a while to learn it, so the conflict is not between them. In addition, although she is afraid of making a fool of herself in front of the swimmers, the conflict is arguably not between her and society.

Answer: Hassan and Springdale Athletic Club are the proper nouns.

Explanation:

This sentence uses the persons name and the name of the club instead of just saying " The person went to the athletic club." Remember proper nouns are like saying a persons name and saying the full name of a club or place.

Cooking is a skill that you obtain through long days of practicing, for some it comes easy, for others not so much. Back nearly 5000 years ago men sat in caves cooking with sticks and stones and now we evolved and have so much knowledge and so many different ways of preparing food. More goes into it than throwing in a egg and some flour.. There are many actions you have to do as well such as stirring, mixing , and baking. My conclusion being that cooking is difficult .

Read the excerpt from an interview.
77julia77 [94]

The second option, “a story about a doctor who tracks and treats the outbreak of a virus” is the most appropriate choice. That is because among all the four choices provided, it is the only possible ending or the only possible scenario that could succeed the story. The rest of the choices are very unlikely to happen.
