read the passage from \initiation.\\nit would be rather fun for a change, millicent mused, getting her books out of her locker in the hall, rather exciting to be part of a closely knit group, the exclusive set at lansing high. of course, it wasnt a school organization. in fact, the principal, mr. cranton, wanted to do away with initiation week altogether, because he thought it was undemocratic and disturbed the routine of school work. but there wasnt really anything he could do about it. sure, the girls had to come to school for five days without any lipstick on and without curling their hair, and of course everybody noticed them, but what could the teachers do?\nthe author most likely included the information about the principals and teachers reactions in order to\n○ create a character vs. nature conflict.\n○ resolve a character vs. character conflict.\n○ complicate millicents character vs. self conflict.\n○ introduce another character vs. society conflict.

Answer

Brief Explanations:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

  • Option 1: Character vs. nature conflict involves nature (like weather, animals), but here it's about school authority vs. a group, so eliminate.
  • Option 2: Resolving a character vs. character conflict would mean ending a conflict between two characters, but the principal/teachers' reactions don't resolve a conflict between characters, so eliminate.
  • Option 3: Millicent's character vs. self conflict is about her internal struggle, and the principal/teachers' reactions don't complicate her internal struggle. The focus here is on the group (the exclusive set) vs. school authority/society, so eliminate.
  • Option 4: The exclusive set (a social group) has practices (initiation week) that go against the school's (society’s, in terms of school rules) norms (principal dislikes it as undemocratic, disturbs school work; teachers can’t stop it). So this introduces a character (the group) vs. society (school authority) conflict.

Answer: D. introduce another character vs. society conflict.
