Read this excerpt from Little Brother and answer the following questions in complete sentences using proper grammar and punctuat

ion: Marcus manages to flag down a vehicle and they get more than they bargained for... It was a military-looking Jeep, like an armored Hummer, only it didn't have any military insignia on it. The car skidded to a stop just in front of me, and I jumped back and lost my balance and ended up on the road. I felt the doors open near me, and then saw a confusion of booted feet moving close by. I looked up and saw a bunch of military-looking guys in coveralls, holding big, bulky rifles and wearing hooded gas masks with tinted face-plates. I barely had time to register them before those rifles were pointed at me. I'd never looked down the barrel of a gun before, but everything you've heard about the experience is true. You freeze where you are, time stops, and your heart thunders in your ears. I opened my mouth, then shut it, then, very slowly, I held my hands up in front of me. The faceless, eyeless armed man above me kept his gun very level. I didn't even breathe. Van was screaming something and Jolu was shouting and I looked at them for a second and that was when someone put a coarse sack over my head and cinched it tight around my windpipe, so quick and so fiercely I barely had time to gasp before it was locked on me. I was pushed roughly but dispassionately onto my stomach and something went twice around my wrists and then tightened up as well, feeling like baling wire and biting cruelly. I cried out and my own voice was muffled by the hood. I was in total darkness now and I strained my ears to hear what was going on with my friends. I heard them shouting through the muffling canvas of the bag, and then I was being impersonally hauled to my feet by my wrists, my arms wrenched up behind my back, my shoulders screaming. I stumbled some, then a hand pushed my head down and I was inside the Hummer. More bodies were roughly shoved in beside me. "Guys?" I shouted, and earned a hard thump on my head for my trouble. I heard Jolu respond, then felt the thump he was dealt, too. My head rang like a gong. "Hey," I said to the soldiers. "Hey, listen! We're just high school students. I wanted to flag you down because my friend was bleeding. Someone stabbed him." I had no idea how much of this was making it through the muffling bag. I kept talking. "Listen—this is some kind of misunderstanding. We've got to get my friend to a hospital—" Someone went upside my head again. It felt like they used a baton or something—it was harder than anyone had ever hit me in the head before. My eyes swam and watered and I literally couldn't breathe through the pain. A moment later, I caught my breath, but I didn't say anything. I'd learned my lesson. In three to five sentences, explain what you think will happen to Marcus next based on what you read. How could this conflict change Marcus' character? (20 points)

The correct answer to this question is Man versus society. This is the kind of conflict Marcus is facing. Man versus society is the type of conflict wherein the protagonist has a strong belief against the majority and then he decided to act upon it. This is common between a character and an outside group. Thank you for posting your question. I hope that this answer helped you. Let me know if you need more help.

Answer:

The position states a point of view that disagrees with Aristotle's.

Explanation:

The position, or claim, is a statement that contains how the writers feels on the topic, not an introduction to the topic itself, so the first answer is incorrect and can be eliminated.

The introduction begins with presenting Aristotle's point of view on having many friends; however, this isn't the writer's view, as they claim that Aristotle's point isn't valid in sentence 3. Since there is a position present <em>and</em><em> </em>it disagrees with Aristotle's, the second and fifth answers are incorrect and the third answer, being the opposite of the second, is correct.

The writer simply asserts that it is possible to have a large number of true friends, but doesn't present any reasons why this is true (extroverts are better at making friends, one simply needs to put a little more work into their friendships, etc.). Therefore, the fourth answer is incorrect.
