Explanation:

To solve the problem of classifying internal and external conflicts, we analyze each scenario:

1. George's Protest

• Type of Conflict: External (Individual vs. Society)
• Explanation: George and his friends are protesting against a law passed by Congress (a societal institution). This is an external conflict as it involves an individual (George) and his group against society (represented by the law passed by Congress).

2. Millie's Dilemma

• Type of Conflict: Internal (Individual vs. Self)
• Explanation: Millie is conflicted between meeting her teacher's expectation and going to the library. This is an internal conflict as it is a struggle within Millie's own mind about what she should do.

3. Marvin and Gilbert

• Type of Conflict: External (Individual vs. Individual)
• Explanation: Marvin is upset with Gilbert (his brother) for stealing his baseball cards and then pinches Gilbert. This is an external conflict between two individuals (Marvin and Gilbert).

4. Garden and Rain

• Type of Conflict: External (Individual vs. Nature)
• Explanation: The individual is trying to plant a garden but is stopped by rain (a natural element). This is an external conflict between the individual and nature.

5. Homework Overload

• Type of Conflict: Internal (Individual vs. Self)
• Explanation: The individual is conflicted about rushing through homework to get a C and then being disappointed with the result. This is an internal struggle about their choices and feelings regarding their academic work.

6. Hallway Fight (Partial Text)

7. Friend's Expectation (Partial Text)

• Type of Conflict: Internal (Individual vs. Self) or External (Individual vs. Society/Friend)
• Explanation: If it's about choosing between a friend's expectation and another activity, it could be internal (struggle within self) or external (individual vs. friend/society). More context is needed, but based on typical scenarios, it's likely internal (individual vs. self) as it involves the individual's choice between meeting a friend's expectation and other priorities.
