Read the excerpt from “In the Victory Garden.”OLIVE: You just sit down, Henry, and make yourself comfortable. I believe you’ve met my sister, Pearl Wills.HENRY: We have at church met. Good afternoon, Miss Wills.PEARL: Hmmph.OLIVE: I believe my sister is having a little trouble with her throat this morning, Henry. She certainly doesn’t mean to be rude. Do you, Pearl? You know why I asked you to visit us, Henry.

Answer
A
character versus self
B
character versus society
C
character versus character
D
character versus nature

Explanation

The tension in this excerpt is between Pearl and Henry: Pearl responds to Henry with a dismissive “Hmmph,” and Olive explains that Pearl does not mean to be rude. This is a conflict between characters, so the best choice is character versus character. The excerpt does not focus on a character struggling with themself, society, or nature.
