Question

read the excerpt from \justin lebo\
on the way home, justin was silent. his mother assumed he was lost in a feeling of satisfaction. but he was thinking about what would happen once those bikes got wheeled inside and everyone saw them. how would all those kids decide who got the bikes? two bikes could cause more trouble than they would solve.
what conflict is introduced in this excerpt?
○ the residents of the kilbarchan home for boys may not know how to ride the bicycles justin brought
○ there are not enough staff members at the kilbarchan home for boys to oversee the distribution of the bicycles
○ the residents of the kilbarchan home for boys may not like the bicycles that justin restored
○ there are not enough bicycles for the residents of the kilbarchan home for boys

Explanation:

The excerpt states Justin worries that only two bikes will lead to conflict among the kids at the home, as they will have to decide who gets them, implying there are not enough bicycles for all residents. The other options are not supported by the text: there is no mention of the kids not knowing how to ride, staff shortages, or dislike of the restored bikes.

Answer:

D. There are not enough bicycles for the residents of the Kilbarchan Home for Boys
