Answer:
The conflict that occurs in the passage is:
<u>an external conflict between the mother, who wants to show off her famous daughter, and the daughter, who feels used.</u>
Explanation:
"Rules of the Game" is a short story by Amy Tan. The main character is Waverly Jong, a young girl who becomes an excellent chess player. Waverly is American, but her parents are Chinese immigrants. Her mother, in her broken English, teaches Waverly that the strongest wind cannot be seen, that patience and silence are powerful in defeating one's opponent.
Waverly is extremely intelligent and becomes a sort of child genius when it comes to chess. As a result, she is treated differently at home, being freed from her chores, excused from the table, and having the bedroom for herself. Still, her mother's actions bother her. Her hints at the way Waverly plays are nonsensical, and she feels proud as if she had taught her daughter how to play. Waverly feels used when she goes out shopping with her mother. She is introduced to everyone who will hear "This is my daughter Wave-ly". Her mother wants everyone to know she has a talented daughter.
<u>The conflict here is external, meaning it happens between the two characters, not within them. Waverly shows her emotions, but is misunderstood. Her mother feels offended, thinking her daughter is ashamed of being related to her. They are incapable of understanding each other, of communicating their feelings effectively. Waverly realizes her mother is the strongest adversary she will ever have, but she is smart enough to remember the lessons. At the end of the story, she is carefully planning her next move in life.</u>

The pilot's reaction was to hold the steering wheel tight and make a daring maneuver. Ollestad didn't express his concerns as he wanted to win the championship.

- Although the weather was not favorable, the pilot was experienced and very efficient in his profession.
- He knew what he intended to do was risky, but he felt he could handle the process.
- For this reason, upon hearing the weather information, he decided to hold on to the plane's steering wheel and dive into a risky but highly controlled and successful maneuver.
