Read the excerpt below and answer the question. “Hey, kid, how old are you?” The man interrogating me was an inmate. I could not

see his face, but his voice was weary and warm. “Fifteen.” “No. You’re eighteen.” “But I’m not,” I said. “I’m fifteen.” “Fool. Listen to what I say.” * * * [Dr. Mengele] looked like the typical SS officer: a cruel, though not unintelligent, face, complete with monocle. He was holding a conductor’s baton and was surrounded by officers. The baton was moving constantly, sometimes to the right, sometimes to the left. In no time, I stood before him. “Your age?” he asked, perhaps trying to sound paternal. “I’m eighteen.” My voice was trembling. How is this excerpt from Elie Wiesel’s Night an example of an internal conflict? Select all that apply. he corrects the inmate when the man gets Eliezer's age wrong he is afraid of what Dr. Mengele is going to do to him he considers whether or not to trust the inmate who tells him he's not fifteen he must decide whether or not to tell Dr. Mengele the truth about his age

Answer: C) he considers whether or not to trust the inmate who tells him he's not fifteen and D) he must decide whether or not to tell Dr. Mengele the truth about his age.

Explanation: A conflict in a story is a struggle between opposing forces, usually between the main character and some other force, that can be another character, society or even himself. Without the conflict the story wouldn't have any point. An internal conflict is a struggle between a character and himself, in the given excerpt from "Night" by Elie Wiesel, we can see examples of internal conflict when the speaker considers whether or not to trust the inmate and when he decides whether or not to tell Dr. Mengele the truth about his age.

I think there are two ptions that show internal conflict:

1) He considers whether or not to trust the inmate who tells him he´s not fifteen.

In this case he doesn't know the inmmate and doesn't know the exact reason hes telling him to lie. One reason is because he wants to help him, that information would save his life from the SS. The other option is that the inmmate is selfish and by telling him to lie, the kid will be punished instead of him. The kid must decide then if he trusts him or not.

2) He must decide whether or not to tell Dr. Mengele the truth about his age.

In this case he has even more doubts, he knows Mengeles reputation and he doesn't know how much information does he have and how will it affect him. If he lies he might know it and punish him or that lie could save him.

The conflict is real because his life could depend on the decissions he makes.

Read the passage.
Andru [333]

Answer:

The allusion in this passage and its interpretation is "Thousands are ushered into the world"; although some slaves have white fathers, they are still lineal descendants of Ham and should remain slaves.

Explanation:

This allusion makes reference to the biblical curse over Ca'naan, where it says "And he said, Cursed be Ca'naan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren." this says that generation after generation the sons are cursed to be under the demands of their "owners" due to the lack of respect of Ca'naan towards his father.
