question 4 of 10
what is a connection between internal conflict and the subject matter of
multicultural writing?

a. clashes between cultures are always internal conflicts.

b. the tension a character feels between two cultures is an example
of internal conflict.

c. internal conflicts first entered into the public consciousness with
the popularization of multicultural literature.

d. internal conflicts include arranged marriages and language
barriers.

Explanation:

• Option A: Clashes between cultures are external (between groups), not always internal. Eliminate A.
• Option B: In multicultural writing, a character’s tension between two cultures (e.g., balancing heritage and new cultural norms) is an internal struggle (within the character), so this is a valid connection.
• Option C: Internal conflicts existed long before multicultural literature; this statement is false. Eliminate C.
• Option D: Arranged marriages and language barriers are external/societal conflicts, not internal. Eliminate D.

Answer:

B. The tension a character feels between two cultures is an example of internal conflict.
