People began to look around to see the Hutchinsons. Bill Hutchinson was standing quiet, staring down at the paper in his hand. Suddenly, Tessie Hutchinson shouted to Mr. Summers, "You didn't give him time enough to take any paper he wanted. I saw you. It wasn't fair!"
"Be a good sport, Tessie." Mrs. Delacroix called, and Mrs. Graves said, "All of us took the same chance."

Answer 2

Answer:

A. Tessie Hutchinson is in conflict with the society.

Explanation:

A conflict in this case is the disagreement between two or more people on a particular point of view.  Tessie Hutchinson does not believe that the time frame given to Mr. Hutchinson to take his papers was ideal or fair enough. This is in contrast to the viewpoint of every other person, including Mr. Hutchinson who tells Tessie to 'shut up'. While Mrs Delacroix tells Tessie to 'be a good sport', Mrs Grace pointed out that, 'every other person was given the same chance'.  

So, the society here composed of the greater number of people are in disagreement with Tessie. So, we can say that Tessie is in conflict with the society.
