Explanation:

External conflicts are those that occur between a character and an outside force. They propel the plot forward as characters face challenges. When a character is at odds with society (an external entity), it's an external conflict. Also, external conflicts take place between two characters (where one is the external force for the other). They release tensions as the story progresses with these clashes.

Answer:

They propel the plot of a story.
