Question

identifying opposing forces
anyway, i went on walking home, thinking about the movie, and then suddenly wishing i had some company. greasers cant walk alone too much or theyll get jumped, or someone will come by and scream \greaser!\ at them, which doesnt make you feel too hot, if you know what i mean. we get jumped by the socs. im not sure how you spell it, but its the abbreviation for the socials, the jet set, the west - side rich kids. its like the term \greaser,\ which is used to class all us boys on the east side.
—the outsiders,
s.e. hinton
what are the opposing forces in this passage?
○ ponyboy and the greasers
○ greasers and movies
○ greasers and socs
○ ponyboy and the dark night

Explanation:

The passage from "The Outsiders" describes that greasers (East - side boys) get jumped by the Socs (West - side rich kids). The other options: Ponyboy is a greaser, so "Ponyboy and the greasers" are not opposing; "greasers and movies" are not opposing forces; "Ponyboy and the dark night" is not an opposing force as described in the passage. So the opposing forces are greasers and Socs.

Answer:

C. greasers and Socs
