<span>Mr. Sargent bought a sweater for his dog with purple and pink spots because the dog doesn't have spots.</span>

The correct answer is: Mr. Sargent bought a sweater for his dog with purple and pink spots.


The fact that the phrase "with purple and pink spots" comes after the word dog creates and ambiguity issue, implying the <em>dog</em> actually has colored sports embedded into its skin.

The adjective phrase should be written after the word <em>sweater</em>, since a sweater is more likely to fit that description than a dog.

Answer:

Conflict in literature refers to any problem the protagonist has to overcome in order to solve a given situation and reach a goal or accomplish its mission. The conflict is a must-have asset for any literature for it gives the meaning to the whole text, there has to be a problem to be solved, a mountain to climb, a goal to reach, this is the importance of the conflict. There are 2 types of conflict, internal and external conflict.  

Internal conflict are the problems that happen inside the protagonist´s mind , a struggle between two feelings fighting each other up to the point the protagonist succumbs to one or none of the feelings and reach a conclusion. There are only 2 types of internal conflict, man versus self and man versus sickness that sometimes can also be a psychological disease and its still man versus self.

On the other hand External conflicts involve every problem that can be caused by an external source, this being, another person, the nature, a machine, etc.  

On the story No dogs barks the author introduces the conflict slowly, it seems to be an external conflict at the beginning since Ignacio was wounded and his old father was carrying him to help him, but as the story goes on it turns into an internal conflict as the father realizes that wasn’t his son anymore and has an internal problem in which his feeling of guilt with his dead wife won’t let him drop his son and let  him die as he explains how badly his son has repaid all of his hard work raising him, he grew up to be a murderer and even as his father was dying while helping Ignacio, he didn´t even helped him hear the dogs bark. At the end by letting go of his son the conflict is solved and they finally reach where the dogs bark.
