Read the passage from Lord of the Flies by William Golding.Ralph dropped down and spoke in his ordinary voice."So remember. The rocks for a lavatory. Keep the fire going and smoke showing as a signal. Don’t take fire from the mountain. Take your food up there.”Jack stood up, scowling in the gloom, and held out his hands."I haven’t finished yet.”"But you’ve talked and talked!”"I’ve got the conch.”Jack sat down, grumbling.
Answer
A
through Ralph’s refusal to let Jack speak
B
through the commands Ralph gives the boys
C
through the disagreement between Jack and Ralph
D
through the way Jack acts while Ralph has the conch
Explanation
The passage shows Ralph and Jack disagreeing: Jack insists that he has not finished speaking, while Ralph points out that Jack has already talked a lot. Jack then claims the conch, and Ralph sits down grumbling. This conflict between the two characters is best shown by choice C, “through the disagreement between Jack and Ralph.”
