The correct answers are Excerpt 1: Internal conflict; Excerpt 2: External conflict; Excerpt 3: External conflict; Excerpt 4: Internal
Explanation:
In literature, conflict is classified as external if characters fight against elements such as society, nature, and other characters because the conflict occurs is not within the character. On the opposite, in the internal conflict, the conflict emerges within the character and often implies the character struggling against his/her fears, emotions, beliefs, etc.
According to this, excerpts 1 and 4 should be classified as part of internal conflict because in both the characters struggle against their own feelings, in the first case there is a struggle between fear and curiosity, and in the second there is a struggle between fear and admiration. On the other hand, excerpts 2 and 3 show external conflict because in the second excerpt the character struggles against a group of aliens (other characters) and in the third excerpt the character struggles against society.
