Read the passage from "Two Kinds.” In fact, in the beginning, I was just as excited as my mother, maybe even more so. I pictured

this prodigy part of me as many different images, trying each one on for size. I was a dainty ballerina girl standing by the curtains, waiting to hear the right music that would send me floating on my tiptoes. I was like the Christ child lifted out of the straw manger, crying with holy indignity. I was Cinderella stepping from her pumpkin carriage with sparkly cartoon music filling the air. In all of my imaginings, I was filled with a sense that I would soon become perfect. My mother and father would adore me. I would be beyond reproach. I would never feel the need to sulk for anything. But sometimes the prodigy in me became impatient. "If you don't hurry up and get me out of here, I'm disappearing for good," it warned. "And then you'll always be nothing." What conflict is indicated by the underlined sentences? an internal conflict within the mother, who wants her daughter to be a prodigy an internal conflict within the narrator, who wants to be a prodigy but has not found the right activity an external conflict between the narrator and her mother over the pace of the narrator’s learning an external conflict between the narrator, who wants to be a prodigy, and her mother, who is less ambitious

Answer:

The correct answer is "an internal conflict within the narrator, who wants to be a prodigy but has not found the right activity".

Explanation:

In the extract, the narrator is struggling to find a linking bridge between her ambition and her talents, which seem to be undefined. She has no clear understanding of what is the path she should follow to achieve what she desires, and that generates anxiety as a form of internal conflict: she feels split in two, and both parts of her have a degree of autonomy. Specifically, one of them lives an internal life and has the potential to fulfill both of their dreams, and the other lives an external life and has the capacity (and obligation) to take the decisions for both of them.

nevsk [136]
The asnwer is C because the information isn't sufficient enough to be a complete sentence. What about the supplies on the table? Is someone acknowledging that they're there? Does that make sense; they aren't supplying enough information about the supplies on the table.
