The statement which best tells how the main conflict in the first excerpt is different from the main conflict in the second excerpt is that THE FIRST EXCERPT ILLUSTRATES AN INTERNAL CONFLICT WHILE THE SECOND EXCERPT ILLUSTRATES AN EXTERNAL CONFLICT. In literary works, conflict refers to the problems that the main character has to find solutions to in order to achieve his objectives. There are two major types of conflict, these are internal and external conflict. A character is said to be experiencing an internal conflict if he is experiencing psychological disturbance in his mind due to an occurrence which he did not like. External conflict is said to occur when a character is in struggle with another character or an external force.
