Read this part of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's "One of These Days." "'[The mayor] says if you don't take out his tooth, he'll shoot
you.' Without hurrying, with an extremely tranquil movement, [the dentist] stopped pedaling the drill, pushed it away from the chair, and pulled the lower drawer of the table all the way out. There was a revolver. 'O.K.,' he said. 'Tell him to come and shoot me.'" This part best represents which form of conflict?
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 we can see an example of an external conflict, specifically of the type man vs. man (person vs. person), because it describes a conflict between the mayor and the dentist.
