Man vs Man
There are 5 types of conflicts in literature:
1) Man vs Man/Character vs Character
2) Man vs Nature
3) Man vs Society
4) Man vs Self
5) Man vs Technology
The conflict is described as Man vs Man because they fight against each other, and the antagonist is stopping the protagonist from doing what they are wanting to.
I hope that helps! :)
The correct answer should be locate basic information.
When you are doing the preliminary research, you are just reading through a bunch of sources and information that you may or may not use while writing. You still aren't deciding which exact sources you are actually going to use, but rather just trying to find them and later on make that decision during another stage of writing.
