Question

which statements are true of external conflicts? select three options.
□ they propel the plot of a story.
□ they release tensions in a story.
□ they take place between two characters in a story.
□ they happen when a character is at odds with society.
□ they occur when characters feel uncertain about what they want.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  1. "They propel the plot of a story": External conflicts create challenges that drive the story's action forward, so this is true.
  2. "They release tensions in a story": Resolving external conflicts (or even the process of dealing with them) can release built - up tension, so this is true.
  3. "They take place between two characters in a story": External conflicts can be character - vs - character, so this is true.
  4. "They happen when a character is at odds with society": This is a type of external conflict (character - vs - society), so this is true? Wait, no, the question says to select three. Wait, let's re - analyze:
  • "They propel the plot of a story": True, as conflicts give characters goals and actions that move the story.
  • "They release tensions in a story": When conflicts are resolved or progress, tension is released, so true.
  • "They take place between two characters in a story": Character - vs - character is a type of external conflict, so true.
  • "They happen when a character is at odds with society": This is also an external conflict (character - vs - society), but the question says to select three. Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Let's check the last two:
  • "They occur when characters feel uncertain about what they want": This is internal conflict (character - vs - self), not external.
  • So the three true ones are: "They propel the plot of a story", "They release tensions in a story", "They take place between two characters in a story" and "They happen when a character is at odds with society" – no, the question says three. Wait, maybe the correct three are:
  • "They propel the plot of a story" (external conflicts drive the story forward).
  • "They take place between two characters in a story" (character - vs - character is external).
  • "They happen when a character is at odds with society" (character - vs - society is external).
  • Wait, but "They release tensions in a story" – when conflicts are addressed, tension is released. But maybe the intended three are:
  • 1. They propel the plot of a story.
  • 2. They take place between two characters in a story.
  • 3. They happen when a character is at odds with society.
  • Or maybe "They release tensions in a story" is also true. Wait, let's recall: External conflicts are struggles between a character and an outside force (another character, society, nature, etc.). They create tension and then the resolution of the conflict (or progress in dealing with it) releases tension. And they propel the plot as the character tries to overcome the conflict.
  • So the three true statements are:
  • "They propel the plot of a story."
  • "They take place between two characters in a story."
  • "They happen when a character is at odds with society."
  • Wait, but "They release tensions in a story" – when the conflict is resolved or moves forward, tension is released. So maybe that's also true. But the question says to select three. Let's check each option:
  • Option 1: True, external conflicts drive the plot.
  • Option 2: True, resolving conflicts (or dealing with them) releases tension.
  • Option 3: True, character - vs - character is external conflict.
  • Option 4: True, character - vs - society is external conflict.
  • Option 5: False, this is internal conflict (character - vs - self).
  • But the question says to select three. Maybe the intended three are Option 1, Option 3, Option 4. Or Option…

Answer:

  • They propel the plot of a story.
  • They take place between two characters in a story.
  • They happen when a character is at odds with society.
