B) character versus nature
C)character versus character
1) Rainsford and Zaroff play a dangerous game of survival
2) Rainsford has to battle to survive the island.
3) rainsford struggles withthe morality of hunting and killing animals.

Answer 1

The answers are

A - 3
B - 2
C - 1

A character vs. self conflict occurs when the character is struggling internally or literally in conflict with themself, like when Rainsford is trying to analyze his values to decide whether or not killing animals is okay.

A character vs. nature conflict is exactly what it sounds like: a character struggles against a particularly difficult aspect of their world that they cannot control such as weather or a certain landscape, such as when Rainsford struggles to survive the treacherous landscape of the island in the book.

A character vs. character conflict is when two or more characters engage in a struggle, whether that be verbal, physical, or mental. Rainsford and Zaroff engage in physical and verbal conflict throughout the story as they fight.

Hope this helps! :)
