Question 20 • *NBHS FL-1001070-M/J Language Arts 3 A
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.
