I don’t have the passage you’re referring to, so I can’t choose reliably. Please paste the passage (or key lines) and I’ll pick the two options and explain why.
If you need a quick answer without the passage, here’s how to decide and the most likely pair:
- How to spot each conflict:
- Internal narrator frightened by her anger: look for language about feeling shocked/scared at one’s own feelings, or metaphors about ‘losing control’ or being afraid of oneself.
- External independence vs obedience: look for explicit demands or arguments — the narrator insisting on freedom and the mother insisting on rules/obedience.
- External about continuing to live at home: look for talk of leaving/staying, eviction, or consequences tied to residence.
- Internal in the mother about throwing the daughter out: look for the mother’s vacillation, inner thoughts, or direct admission of being torn.
- External about the narrator trying to be the kind of daughter and the mother thinking that’s impossible: look for the narrator’s efforts to please and the mother’s scorn/condemnation that it’s insufficient.
- Most likely picks (common in mother–daughter passages):
1) an internal conflict within the narrator, who is frightened by the extremity of her anger at her mother, and
2) an external conflict between the narrator, who is demanding independence, and her mother, who is demanding obedience.
If you paste the passage I’ll confirm or correct this.
