a) when a friend says something surprising
ANSWER: A, A, NA, A
sentence: silly sissy sits straight on a stool
The dependent clause of the sentence is "If we are going to make it to the movie on time," because it depends on the next part of the sentence to make sense. Without the next half of the sentence, the clause left alone wouldn't make any sense. The other clause is independent, meaning that it still makes sense when it stands without the dependent clause.
"One conflict I've faced is the possibility of rejection, specifically in auditioning for my school's advanced choir. I was unwaveringly nervous of rejection because it would mean, in my eyes, that I wasn't a good enough singer. Eventually, I decided it was best to try and possibly succeed than to live life in torment of the "what ifs." Now, almost a year later, I sing louder than anyone in my section of Basses, all because I went for it. Had I been overwhelmed by my fear of rejection, I never would have met my new friends or fallen in love with the songs I now sing."
As for your own conflict, you can think of something most people don't really think about, like lying to protect someone's feelings or not agreeing with something your parents do and you not knowing what to do about it.
