which type of conflict occurs between a character and an external force, such as another character or society?
○ internal conflict
○ external conflict
○ character vs. self
○ character vs. nature

Explanation:

First Question (Primary function of conflict in a story)

• "To provide background information" is done by exposition, not conflict.
• "To develop the setting" is part of world - building, not the main role of conflict.
• Conflict creates tension (e.g., a character vs. villain) and pushes the story's events (plot) forward as characters react to conflict.
• "To introduce the main character" is part of character introduction, not conflict's function.

Second Question (Type of conflict between a character and external force)

• "Internal Conflict" is within a character (e.g., moral dilemma).
• "External Conflict" is between a character and outside forces (other characters, society, nature).
• "Character vs. Self" is internal conflict.
• "Character vs. Nature" is a type of external conflict, but the question asks for the broader category of conflict with external forces, so "External Conflict" is correct.

Answer:

To create tension and drive the plot forward
