question 1 of 10
what is a connection between internal conflict and the subject matter of multicultural writing?

a. internal conflicts include arranged marriages and language barriers.

b. the tension a character feels between two cultures is an example of internal conflict.

c. clashes between cultures are always internal conflicts.

d. internal conflicts first entered into the public consciousness with the popularization of multicultural literature.

Explanation:

• Option A: Arranged marriages and language barriers are external or cultural conflicts, not internal (internal conflict is within a character).
• Option B: In multicultural writing, a character’s tension between two cultures (e.g., conflicting values, identities) is an internal struggle (within the character’s mind/self), so this correctly links internal conflict to multicultural subject matter.
• Option C: Clashes between cultures are external (between groups/cultures), not always internal.
• Option D: Internal conflict is a broader literary concept, not dependent on multicultural literature’s popularity for existence.

Answer:

B. The tension a character feels between two cultures is an example of internal conflict.
