Question 1 • LAUSD-English Language Arts 9 B (Prescriptive)

Which sentence best summarizes the central conflict in Amateratsu?

Answer

Amaterasu, the sun goddess, had a brother, Susanowo, the storm god, who fought with her.

Uzume, Amaterasu, Susanowo, and the other gods all had great influence over what happened on earth.

Susanowo caused so much trouble that Amaterasu retreated from the world, taking the sun with her.

The gods intervened so that Amaterasu brought back the sun, and Susanowo was punished.

Explanation

The central conflict is the problem that Susanowo’s disruptive behavior caused: Amaterasu withdrew into a cave, leaving the world without sunlight. Choice C captures that main problem. Choice D describes how the conflict is resolved, rather than the conflict itself.
