Explanation:

Multiple - Choice Question

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Mikey's story is more likely to create a dilemma rather than strengthen resolve. So A is incorrect.
• Option B: The story has nothing to do with making Will forget his brother. So B is incorrect.
• Option C: Mikey's story (likely about family, legacy, or tough choices) would make Will's internal conflict (about his family legacy, maybe related to violence or following a certain path) deeper as it presents a complex situation that he has to grapple with.
• Option D: There's no indication that the story encourages gun use; it's more about internal struggle. So D is incorrect.

1. First, we consider the context of Will's internal conflict (probably related to his family's history, maybe of violence or a certain way of life) and Mikey's presence. Mikey's story or presence in the elevator likely presents a situation that makes Will question his own path related to his family legacy.
2. Mikey's presence in the elevator affects Will's internal conflict by bringing up issues related to his family's past (like maybe a history of violence, tough decisions). This deepens his conflict because he has to confront whether to follow the same path as his family (maybe related to using violence, like the gun) or to break away. It reveals that Will's struggle with his family legacy is about choosing between adhering to a potentially destructive family pattern (maybe of violence or a life of crime) and forging his own non - violent or different path. He is torn between the legacy he has inherited and his own desires or moral compass.

Answer:

C) Deepen his internal conflict
