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?

The best example is the last excerpt:
". . .thinking, this is beginning to sound serious. Worse than a loyalty test, this grilling over the coals. What’s it supposed to prove anyway?"
Why: it shows Millicent’s inner thoughts and doubt—she questions the point of the test and feels resistant—so it reveals an internal struggle (wanting acceptance vs. feeling rebellious). The spoken line (“I said get up. Are you deaf?”) is external conflict, and the first two lines give context or a brief feeling but don’t show the internal argument as clearly.
