Question

which is true of central conflict? (1 point)

it has little to do with character development.

it drives the storys action.

it can only be external.

it is disconnected to the storys main theme.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• The first option is incorrect because central conflict is closely tied to character development as characters react and grow from it.
• The second option is correct. The central conflict in a story is the main struggle that propels the plot forward, driving the story's action as characters work to resolve it.
• The third option is incorrect because central conflict can be internal (e.g., a character's moral dilemma) or external (e.g., a character vs. nature).
• The fourth option is incorrect as the central conflict is often connected to the story's main theme, as the theme can be explored through how the conflict is resolved.

Answer:

B. It drives the story's action.
