Explanation:
I had a frightening dream last night, I dreamed that I was walking high up on a railroad trestle. It looked like the one I used to walk on when I was about 10 years old. At that height, my palms were sweating, just as they did when I was a boy. I could see the ground out of the corners of my eyes, I felt a swooning, sickening sensation. Suddenly, I realized there were rats below, thousands and thousands of rats. They knew I was up the trestle, they were squeaking because they were sure they would get me. Their teeth glinted in the moonlight, their red eyes were like thousands of small reflectors, that almost blinded my sight. Sensing that there was something even more hideous behind me, I kept moving forward. I then realised that I was coming to a gap in the trestle. I knew there was no way I could stop or go back, I would have to cross over that empty gap. I jumped in despair knowing I would never make it. I felt myself falling down to the mischief of rejoicing rats. I woke up covered with sweat, half expecting to find a rat on my bed. I then realized I should not watch scary television shows before I go to bed.
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
The answer would be D) External conflict because its a battle between one character and another so this is just like an ex of Batman vs The Joker, both of them are characters and they are in a fight against each other and this is a external conflict since its a character vs character thing, its not exposition, its not internal conflict because that's a problem in the inside like what should I do, and not resolution because that's like the solution to a problem.
