Explanation:

1. "The characters are showing external responses": The text notes Vega "sounding surprised" and Kim "rolling her eyes"—these are observable, external behaviors, so this is correct.
2. "The characters are driven by the same motivation": Vega wants to study the planet for information, while Kim dismisses it as empty and uninteresting. Their motivations differ, so this is incorrect.
3. "The characters are in conflict with each other": Vega sees value in the planet, while Kim is dismissive of it, creating a clear disagreement, so this is correct.
4. "The characters are having an effect on setting": The interaction focuses on their opinions of the setting, not changing or affecting it, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

• The characters are showing external responses.
• The characters are in conflict with each other.
