Explanation:

To determine which detail is a conflict, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The family being fascinated by stories is not a conflict (no opposing forces).
• Option B: Being worse off after wishes is a result, not a conflict (conflict involves a struggle).
• Option C: Mrs. White wants her son back (a desire) while Mr. White is afraid (opposing emotion/desire), creating an internal or interpersonal conflict between them.
• Option D: The weather is a setting detail, not a conflict.

Answer:

C. Mrs. White wants her son to come back from the dead, but Mr. White is afraid.
