Read the excerpt from "A Quilt of a Country." The reality is often quite different, a great national striving consisting frequen

tly of failure. Many of the oft-told stories of the most pluralistic nation on earth are stories not of tolerance, but of bigotry. Slavery and sweatshops, the burning of crosses and the ostracism of the other. Children learn in social-studies class and in the news of the lynching of blacks, the denial of rights to women, the murders of gay men. It is difficult to know how to convince them that this amounts to "crown thy good with brotherhood," that amid all the failures is something spectacularly successful. Which statement best summarizes the central idea of this excerpt? Due to the many cultures represented in our nation, our history is spoiled by racist acts. The high number of horrors committed in our diverse nation makes it difficult to believe in a united people. Children in American schools are only learning about the negative parts of American history—and none of the positive. Among all of the acts of hatred and racism, there is good in our population made of immigrants.

Which sentence from “The Most Dangerous Game” suggests Person vs. Environment conflict?
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

I guess the answer is option 4 and it shows the conflict between nature and man

Explanation:

In Richard Connell's "The Most Dangerous Game", the story revolves around the protagonist Sanger Rainsford, a famed hunter. After he was stranded in an island owned by Colonel Zaroff, he became the hunted/ prey, thus the reversal of roles. This led to his conflicts in trying to keep himself safe from the barbaric hands of the Colonel who was adamant on killing him for sport.

Conflicts in a story is when one attribute is in opposition against another factor, leading to a difference in opinion and fighting between the two sides.

The case of man versus nature conflict can be seen/ found in the sentence "What perils that tangle of trees and underbrush might hold for him did not concern Rainsford just then."

This sentence is after Rainsford escaped to the forest, eluding the Colonel. He no longer cares what the environment will do to him as long as he is safe from the guns and hands of the Colonel.
