Question

which excerpt from \initiation\ is the best example of an internal conflict?
○ millicent had waited a long time for acceptance, longer than most
○ rebellion flooded through her
○ \i said get up. are you deaf?\
○ thinking, this is beginning to sound serious. worse than a loyalty test, this grilling over the coals. whats it supposed to prove anyway?
○ \i mean, some of them thought tracy was just a bit too different. maybe you could suggest a few things to her\

Explanation:

Internal conflict is a character's struggle within their own mind. This excerpt shows a character's internal thoughts and doubts (wondering about the purpose of the grilling, thinking it's serious), which is an internal conflict. The other options either show external situations (like waiting for acceptance, others' opinions, or a command) or just a feeling of rebellion without the internal questioning/struggle of this option.

Answer:

The option "Thinking, this is beginning to sound serious. Worse than a loyalty test, this grilling over the couch? What's it supposed to prove anyway?"
