Question

what is the best explanation for how a conflict affects characterization in the story? 2 of 10 questions a conflict between character and character — sasha’s argument with the counter guy — shows that she has trouble expressing her emotions. a conflict between character and nature — sasha’s need to take care of her fish — shows that she is unable to draw boundaries in her life. a conflict between character and society — sasha’s unconventional approach to decorating — shows that she is a free spirit. a conflict between character and self — sasha’s struggle to make decisions — shows that she has trouble functioning and living a satisfying life.

Explanation:

• For the first option: An argument with a counter guy (character - character conflict) doesn't necessarily imply trouble expressing emotions; the connection is weak.
• For the second option: Taking care of a fish is not a character - nature conflict (nature conflict is like against natural disasters, harsh environment, etc.), so this is misclassified.
• For the third option: An unconventional decorating approach (character - society conflict, as society may have norms about decorating) can show a character is a free spirit, as they go against societal expectations.
• For the fourth option: Struggling to make decisions (character - self conflict) is more about indecision, and the leap to "trouble functioning and living a satisfying life" is too extreme and not a typical characterization from decision - making struggles.

Answer:

C. A conflict between character and society – Sasha’s unconventional approach to decorating – shows that she is a free spirit. (Note: Assuming the options are labeled A, B, C, D with the third option being C. If the original labeling is different, adjust the identifier accordingly, but the text of the option is as above.)
