Answer is letter e for the question asked

Answer: I would contend that the right answer is the E) The thirst for knowledge and new experiences.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that there are several references in the poem, and in this particular passage, to this concept, which turn it into a recurring theme. For instance, the speaker says: "How dull it is to pause [...] To rust unburnish'd" and "[...] this gray spirit yearning in desire to follow knowledge like a sinking star," just to name a few. Like Ulysses before embarking upon his final and challenging voyage, the speaker is also aware that his end is approaching, but rather than waiting for it passively, he decides to face the challenges and the struggles, and, moved by his thirst for knowledge, he keeps pushing onward. The death of a close friend at a very young age inspired Tennyson to write this poem in 1833.

What conflict is introduced in this excerpt? The residents of the Kilbarchan Home for Boys may not know how to ride the bicycles
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

There are not enough bicycles for the residents of the Kilbarchan Home for Boys.

Explanation:

Phillip Hoose's short story "Justin Lebo" tells the story of a ten-year-old boy named Justin Lebo who decided to make bikes from worn-out bike parts for a good cause. The struggle and the determination that the young boy had in his aim to make bikes for every single boy in the Home made him a sensation and also provides him the happiness and contention he needed about himself.

In the given passage, Justin and his mother were driving back from the home. His mind was racing for he had only given two repaired bikes for a number of boys in a shelter home. His question <em>"How would all those kids decide who got the bikes?"</em> reveals the main conflict of who gets the two bikes out of the many boys in the home.

Thus, the correct answer is that there are not enough bikes for the boys in the Kilbarchan Home.
