Question

timmy is frustrated with his mother because she forgot to pick him up from school. what kind of conflict is this child having?
internal conflict - man vs self
external conflict - man vs society
external conflict - man vs man

Explanation:

To determine the conflict type, we analyze:

• "Internal conflict - man vs self" involves a character's internal struggle (e.g., emotions, decisions), but Timmy's frustration is directed at his mother, not himself. Eliminate this.
• "External conflict - man vs society" involves conflict with societal norms, institutions, or a large group. Timmy's issue is with his mother (an individual), not society. Eliminate this.
• "External conflict - man vs man" involves conflict between two individuals. Timmy is frustrated with his mother (another person), so this fits.

Answer:

C. external conflict - man vs man (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C as per the order: A. internal conflict - man vs self, B. external conflict - man vs society, C. external conflict - man vs man)
