Explanation:

• For the first question: Analyzing a character's actions shows their inner drive (motivation), which is about what they aim for or avoid. Options a, b, and c are about plot, story complexity, and setting, not motivation.
• For the second question: A character's motivation can lead to conflict (e.g., two characters wanting the same thing) or strengthen bonds (e.g., working together towards a common goal). Options a, b, and d misstate the role of motivation in relationships.

Answer:

1. d. It shows what the character is driven to achieve or avoid
2. c. Motivation can create conflict or strengthen bonds, depending on the desires involved
