Question

Which situation is an example of an external conflict?

Answer 1

I'm guessing it would be A. A tries to stop his community from tearing down a historic building. That would be Man vs. Society.

Answer 2

Answer: A.

Option A is the best example of an external conflict. An external conflict is one that occurs between a character and a force outside of himself. Options B, C and D discuss characters who struggle with an aspect of themselves, whether that is their lack of confidence, their life decisions or their values. However, option A describes the conflict a man has with other members of society. Therefore, this is the best example of an external conflict.
