This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
A novel’s main character, Jefferson, refuses to speak to his sister because she hurt his feelings when she lied to him. What kind of conflict is driving Jefferson’s actions?
A. character vs. nature
B. character vs. society
C. character vs. self
D. character vs. character
Answer:
The kind of conflict driving Jefferson's actions is:
D. character vs. character
Explanation:
<u>A conflict is a struggle between two opposing forces.</u> In literature, there are some common types of conflict, such as character vs. self, character vs. society, or character vs. nature. Conflicts can also be external (caused by an outside force) or internal (taking place in the character's mind).
<u>According to the instructions in the question, the kind of conflict described is character vs. character, that is, Jefferson vs. his sister. The two characters are the opposing forces in this case. Their struggle was caused by the sister lying to Jefferson, which led him to refuse to speak to her.</u>
It surprised people because the dance was much slower and smoother than usual.
In "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe, the greatest internal conflict Okonkwo has is him being what he considered ideal masculinity. He became known as a great fighter, a wealthy farmer, and a highly esteemed man in his clan, but all of this changes when he is exiled for seven years. He downgrades to sharecropping from his mother's family's land, and he immediately begins planning how to regain his status when he returns to Umuofia. "Okonkwo saw clearly the high esteem in which he would be held, and he saw himself taking the highest title in the land." He feels that his value is attached only to wealth and power.
