Explanation:

A dynamic character undergoes significant internal change due to external or internal conflict. In the excerpt, Avery is worried about the paper - due date and topic. The external conflict with Maritza (difference in opinion on the paper topic) could cause her to change. A flat character remains relatively unchanged. Here, there's no indication that Avery's internal conflict is the cause of change, and there's not enough evidence to suggest Maritza is a dynamic or flat character based on this short excerpt.

Answer:

A. Avery is a dynamic character because the external conflict with Maritza causes her to change.
