Question 1 • Common Core ELA 7 B-IC

Which dialogue introduces a conflict?

Answer

A

"So you didn't really go to the skate park?" Liam's father asked him. "Why did you lie about it?"

B

"When the crickets start chirpn' at night, you'll know for certain summer has arrived," Marty added.

C

"Who did you see at the dance?" Susan asked her sister. "Was Tomas Santos there?"

D

"You could wear a scarf or a hat with your outfit, but I think it looks fine as it is," Mary told her mother.

Explanation

A introduces a conflict because Liam’s father confronts him about lying about where he went. The accusation creates tension between the characters. The other dialogues share information or offer an opinion without showing a disagreement or problem.
