Answer:
B. Fry and Ria's friendship is compromised when Fry discovers Ria's political views.
Explanation:
A conflict is when there are opposing or contrasting points of view or interests. This conflict can be between two or more characters or things. And this conflict of interest can either be internal or external, depending on the mannerism of the event or situation or characters.
Among the given sentences, the <u>most conflict can be seen in sentence B</u>. This sentence contains two characters who are friends but came into conflict because of their contrasting political views. Thus, this is a<u> character vs. character conflict.
</u>
Sentence A contains no conflict as the audience laughs along with the comedian's joke.
Sentence C contains a conflict between the principal and his own opinion, which is not much of a conflict.
Sentence D contains a character Min Reed who doesn't put up with nonsense. This can be a conflict too but it within the character only and doesn't pose much of a conflict as compared to sentence B.
Thus, the <u>correct answer is option B.
</u>
I have never read "The Nun's Priest's Tale," but based on the excerpt, I would say the answer is C.
Back in the day we used to milk cows by hand, nowadays we have machines to do it for us
I would say that the lines which show us how desperate the poet is are the following:
"... helpless in my throes, Biting my truant pen, beating myself for spite--"
As you can see here, the poet says he is helpless, meaning that he cannot find inspiration to write what he wants to write. Therefore he is desperate for some inspiration, which is why he is biting his truant pen in order to show how anxious he is to get his inspiration back.
