Question

read the excerpt from \amigo brothers.\
as the two climbed into the ring, the crowd exploded with a roar. antonio and felix both bowed gracefully and then raised their arms in acknowledgment.
antonio tried to be cool, but even as the roar was in its first birth, he turned slowly to meet felix’s eyes looking directly into his. felix nodded his head and antonio responded. and both as one, just as quickly, turned away to face his own corner.
what type of conflict is described in this excerpt?
○ character versus animal
○ character versus character
○ character versus society
○ character versus nature

Explanation:

The excerpt is from a story where Antonio and Felix are in a boxing ring, about to compete against each other. Character - versus - character conflict involves a struggle between two or more characters. Here, Antonio and Felix are two characters who are about to face each other in a match, so the conflict is between these two characters. The other options are incorrect: “character versus animal” would involve a character and an animal, “character versus society” is a conflict with societal norms/people as a group, and “character versus nature” is a conflict with natural elements, none of which apply here.

Answer:

B. character versus character
