Which excerpt from “Initiation” is the best example of an internal conflict?
Millicent had waited a long time for acceptance, longer than most.
Rebellion flooded through her.
“I said get up. Are you deaf?”
. . .thinking, this is beginning to sound serious. Worse than a loyalty test, this grilling over the coals. What’s it supposed to prove anyway?
“I mean, some of them thought Tracy was just a bit too different. Maybe you could suggest a few things to her.”

“Rebellion flooded through her.”
This line names Millicent’s inner emotional struggle — the urge to resist versus whatever pressure is pushing her to conform — which is the essence of internal conflict. The others are either external dialogue or narrative description (though the dotted thought about the “loyalty test” is also internal, it’s less immediate than the clear, emotional clash in “Rebellion flooded through her”).
