B. In a standard public classroom (Apex)
Answer:
Jem had to go back for his pants because the lie Dill told to Atticus didn't involve his pants being destroyed, only lost. He said he had lost them in "strip poker." Jem couldn't argue with that lie and come up with a better one where the pants were actually destroyed or else he would risk exposing the lie, so he had to go along with it.
If he hadn't come up with the pants relatively soon, Atticus would have punished him for losing them permanently, a punishment Jem seemed eager to avoid when he said he had not been "whipped" for a long time and he didn't want it to happen again. He clearly has a healthy respect for Atticus and is also afraid of the whip, as he should be. Atticus would have either punished him for losing the pants (something it would cost money to replace) or have punished him for lying, had he found out how the pants were really lost.
So, Jem really had no choice but to go back for his pants, as scary as that prospect was.
Explanation:
The correct answer is definitely an internal conflict. Hamlet is torn between his uncertain knowledge that Claudius is probably the killer who poisoned his father, late King Hamlet and usurped the throne and his mother’s bed and his apparent inaction and sense of helplessness. Because his initial response is so meditative, he blames himself for failing to rapidly avenge his father’s death but at the same time he suffers greatly because he has no proof of the alleged murder “most foul”. Furthermore, only a handful of uninfluential allies support him and he is alone in court against King Claudius who enjoys the court’s and his mother’s support. Hamlet considers that taking such a long time to find proof of the murder is akin to a failure to act and compares his own attitude to that of Fortimbras, who wastes no time in words and acts swiftly and bravely.
