Question 1 • SS-English Language Arts 7

Which sentence from "Amigo Brothers” best shows how the conflict in the story is resolved?

Answer

Felix swung out, trying to clear the pain. Only the frenzied screaming of those along ringside let him know that he had dropped Antonio.

The referee signaled the ring doctor to check the fighters out. He did so and then gave his okay. The cold-water sponges brought clarity to both amigo brothers.

Round three–the final round. Up to now it had been tick-tack-toe, pretty much even. But everyone knew there could be no draw and that this round would decide the winner.

The announcer turned to point to the winner and found himself alone. Arm in arm the champions had already left the ring.

Explanation

The conflict is resolved when Felix and Antonio finish their boxing match without letting the competition damage their friendship. Choice D shows them leaving the ring arm in arm before the winner is announced, suggesting that their friendship matters more than who won.
