Question 5287 • GA-English Language Arts 8

Which conflict results from Barbara Frietchie putting the flag back in her attic window?

Answer
A
The soldiers take down the flags in town.
B
General Jackson and the Confederates arrive.
C
The general orders the flag shot with a rifle.
D
Frietchie shakes her flag at the general.

Explanation

Barbara Frietchie’s display of the Union flag angers the Confederate general. In response, he orders his soldiers to shoot the flag down with a rifle. So the conflict that results is that the general orders the flag shot, not merely that the soldiers arrive or that Frietchie shakes the flag.
