Question

Think about the initial conflict: Neto wonders whether he can play football for fans who are making racist comments. How is the conflict complicated? Check all that apply.

The football coach disagrees with Neto’s decision to quit the team.
The president of the student council agrees to help Neto.
The principal denies that the crowds have said anything racist.
Most of the players change their minds about quitting and continue to play football.
The fans stop making racist comments.

Answer 1

Selections: 1, 3, 4.

Why:
- The coach’s disagreement pressures Neto to stay and adds conflict with authority (1).
- The principal’s denial blocks institutional support and makes it harder to address the abuse (3).
- If most players go back to playing, Neto becomes isolated and faces the choice alone, increasing the personal stakes (4).

Not selected:
- The student council president helping Neto would be support, not a complication (2).
- The fans stopping the comments would resolve the issue, not complicate it (5).
