Question

read this paragraph.
darius was convinced that kennedy high could improve its morning routine. the student parking lot was a jumble of squealing tires, honking horns, and near-misses with pedestrians. two hundred students always seemed to arrive moments before the tardy bell, and the result was a recipe for disaster. still, every time darius mentioned it to his friends, they laughed it off. he wanted to propose a few early-arriver incentives, such as gym privileges or reduced-cost breakfasts, but nobody seemed concerned.
what is the conflict in the excerpt?
○ character versus self
○ character versus character
○ character versus society
○ character versus nature

Explanation:

The conflict arises because Darius is concerned about the unsafe morning parking lot routine at Kennedy High, but his peers (the broader student group/society of the school) dismiss his concerns and are uninterested in his proposed solutions. This pits him against the collective attitude and inaction of the school community.

Answer:

character versus society
