a. sasha and connie must debate each other.
b. sasha and connie may lose their friendship.
c. sasha and connie dont want to debate.
d. sasha and connie cant work together.

Explanation:

The main conflict centers on the threat to their friendship after Connie wins the debate against Sasha, who held back, and Sasha can't forgive her. Option A is a plot event, not the core conflict. Option C is not stated, and Option D is inaccurate as they were on the same debate team before. The key tension is the risk of losing their friendship.

Answer:

B. Sasha and Connie may lose their friendship.
