Answer: A. Elenita versus the music of her parents' homeland.

Explanation: in literature, a conflict is a struggle between opposite forces, usually between a character (the main character or a very important one) and himself (internal conflict), society or another character (external conflict). In the given excerpt from Gravity by Judith Ortiz Cofer we can see an example of an external conflict between a character (Elenita) and the music of her parents' homeland, which her mother used to listen to in the evenings.

Please help on my last question
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

D. She encourages us to read and write well, too

Explanation:

The topic sentence is about your teacher rewarding you.

The question is about which of the 4 sentences <u>would NOT support </u>the main idea of reward.

Options A, B and C are some forms of reward (movie coupons, longer recess and playing CDs). So, each of those sentences do support the main idea of reward.

Option D is about encouragement to do something right, not a reward for doing it.  If she would congratulate you for doing it, that could be seen as a reward... but the sentence only talks about encouragement.
