Read the excerpt from "Amigo Brothers.”Antonio was passing some heavy time on his rooftop. How would the fight tomorrow affect his relationship with Felix? After all, fighting was like any other profession. Friendship had nothing to do with it. A gnawing doubt crept in.Which statement accurately describes the type of conflict used in the excerpt?
Answer
A
The excerpt contains an internal conflict, because it shows Antonio struggling with his own thoughts and worries.
B
The excerpt contains an internal conflict, because it shows Antonio and Felix fighting against a set of rules.
C
The excerpt contains an external conflict, because it shows Antonio and Felix fighting against each other.
D
The excerpt contains an external conflict, because it shows the opposing thoughts in Antonio’s mind.
Explanation
The excerpt focuses on Antonio’s private thoughts as he worries about how the upcoming fight might affect his friendship with Felix. A struggle within a character’s mind is an internal conflict, so choice A is accurate. The passage does not show Antonio and Felix fighting yet; the conflict described is Antonio’s uncertainty and worry.
