Question

Which conflicts are types of external conflict in a literary work? Select three options.

a character feuding with a close friend
a character dealing with feelings of inadequacy
a character living in a harsh environment
a character being judged by the community
a character deciding on the best course of action

Answer 1

Correct choices:
- a character feuding with a close friend (character vs. character)
- a character living in a harsh environment (character vs. nature)
- a character being judged by the community (character vs. society)

The other two (feelings of inadequacy; deciding on the best course of action) are internal conflicts (character vs. self).
