Although Shelly and Trevor were coeditors of the school newspaper, the two argued viciously when deciding which articles to publish.

Explanation

Character versus self-conflict happens when a character struggles with their own thoughts, feelings, or decisions. Santiago has second thoughts about agreeing to skip school, so he is conflicted within himself. The other choices describe conflict with an animal, a social cause, or another person.
