Read the excerpt from "Amigo Brothers.”Antonio danced, a joy to behold. His left hand was like a piston pumping jabs one right after another with seeming ease. Felix bobbed and weaved and never stopped boring in. He knew that at long range he was at a disadvantage. Antonio had too much reach on him. Only by coming in close could Felix hope to achieve the dreamed-of knockout.Which type of conflict is evident in the excerpt?
Answer
A
The excerpt contains an internal conflict, because it shows Felix thinking about his own dreams.
B
The excerpt contains an internal conflict, because it shows Felix worrying about winning the bout.
C
The excerpt contains an external conflict, because it shows Antonio and Felix opposing the rules of boxing.
D
The excerpt contains an external conflict, because it shows Antonio and Felix opposing each other.
Explanation
The excerpt describes Antonio and Felix fighting in a boxing match: Antonio uses jabs, while Felix bobs, weaves, and tries to get close enough to knock him out. This is an external conflict because the struggle is between two characters. Their opposing each other—not simply Felix thinking about his dream—is the conflict shown.
