question 8 of 20
which closing sentences to a story best show a character reflecting on a larger meaning found in a conflict?
a. by accomplishing my goal and earning a degree, i learned that \the world is my oyster\ and that i am entitled to succeed in life.
b. by accepting my parents help in achieving my goals, i was able to attend the college of my choice and earn a prestigious degree.
c. by asserting my individuality in spite of the negative qualities ascribed to my generation, i learned the importance of being true to ones own nature.
d. as an overachiever determined to get a good score on the sat, i was able to get into an ivy league college.

Explanation:

We need to find a sentence where a character reflects on a larger meaning from a conflict. Option C shows a character dealing with negative stereotypes about their generation (the conflict) and learning the importance of being true to oneself (the larger meaning). Options A, B, and D focus more on achieving goals rather than reflecting on a meaning from a conflict.

Answer:

C. By asserting my individuality in spite of the negative qualities ascribed to my generation, I learned the importance of being true to one's own nature.
