From the porch, the cabin looked as quaint and rustic as the website had promised. I hoisted my duffel to my hip, unlocked the d

oor with the key I’d been sent, and stepped into the warm air of the mountain home. The floorboards creaked a welcome as I investigated. I admired the piney living room, noting the stone hearth and the dappled afternoon light on the walls. Then I made my way toward the sole bedroom at the end of the hall. I glanced at the eyelet bedcover, the mantle clock, and the antique mirror. Wait. I glanced again at the mirror and impulsively brushed my hair from my eyes, balking at the coloring of the wayward wisps. How could it be? My hand touched my skin—the image I faced was a much older version of myself. I backed away, watching my wrinkled face retreat. I tripped on the doorjamb, stubbed my toe on an errant nail, and nearly toppled over my own luggage as I lunged for the door. What technique does the author use to build suspense in the excerpt?

Which sentence best describes the conflict in this story a wrongfully accused man must represent himself in court to persuade an
sveta [45]

The conflict provided can be best described as an external conflict, more specifically a character vs. society type of conflict, as further explained below.

<h3>What is conflict?</h3>

This question seems to be missing the answer choices and, because we were not able to find the complete question online, we will provide you with a general answer to help you. First, let's understand that a conflict, in literature, is a fight or opposition between two forces.

First, we can divide conflict into two types:

  • External conflict - between the character and an external force.
  • Internal conflict - between the character and his own thoughts, feelings, fears, etc.

Another possible categorization of conflicts is:

  • Character vs. character
  • Character vs. self
  • Character vs. nature
  • Character vs. society

The conflict described in the scenario in the question is an external conflict, more specifically a character vs. society one. The character is the wrongfully accused man, and he needs to prove to society, represented by the jury, that he is innocent.
