This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
A novel’s main character, Jefferson, refuses to speak to his sister because she hurt his feelings when she lied to him. What kind of conflict is driving Jefferson’s actions?
A. character vs. nature
B. character vs. society
C. character vs. self
D. character vs. character
Answer:
The kind of conflict driving Jefferson's actions is:
D. character vs. character
Explanation:
<u>A conflict is a struggle between two opposing forces.</u> In literature, there are some common types of conflict, such as character vs. self, character vs. society, or character vs. nature. Conflicts can also be external (caused by an outside force) or internal (taking place in the character's mind).
<u>According to the instructions in the question, the kind of conflict described is character vs. character, that is, Jefferson vs. his sister. The two characters are the opposing forces in this case. Their struggle was caused by the sister lying to Jefferson, which led him to refuse to speak to her.</u>
The first choice is the right answer, that Polonius is sacrificing his daughter to trick Hamlet. This is when Polonius is convinced that Hamlet is lovesick over Ophelia, and when Hamlet calls him Jephthah, he fixates on the mention of his daughter, and neglects the context of Jephthah having sacrificed his daughter.
The answer is "He is uneducated".
