Accepted Answer

### Question 9
# Brief Explanations:
External conflict involves a character against an outside force. Person vs. self is internal (character vs. their own thoughts/feelings). Person vs. person and person vs. society are external. So the exception is person vs. self.
# Answer:
c. Person vs. self

### Question 10
# Brief Explanations:
A theme is a central idea or observation about human nature, life, etc. Advice is not a theme, and a "you" statement is not typical of a theme. So the correct answer is an observation about human nature.
# Answer:
b. An observation about human nature

### Question 11
# Brief Explanations:
To evaluate a theme, first identify the topics/big ideas the story deals with. Looking at a specific incident or summarizing the main character is not the first step. So the answer is reviewing topics/big ideas.
# Answer:
a. Review what topics or big ideas the story deals with

### Question 12
# Brief Explanations:
Plot is the causal arrangement of events (one event leads to another). Accidental and hypothetical don't describe plot structure. So the answer is causal.
# Answer:
b. Causal

### Question 13
# Brief Explanations:
When evaluating theme, we look at patterns, recurring symbols, but the author's identity isn't a direct factor in theme evaluation (theme is about the work's ideas, not the author's personal info). So the exception is the author.
# Answer:
b. The author

### Question 14
# Brief Explanations:
Setting creates mood, can contribute to conflict, but patterns are more about narrative elements like motifs, not directly from setting. So setting doesn't help create patterns.
# Answer:
c. Patterns

### Question 15
# Brief Explanations:
In "The Bass, the River, and Sheila Mant", the narrator faces a choice between fishing (nature) and Sheila. The main conflict is person vs. nature (his desire for the bass vs. his desire to impress Sheila, with nature being the bass/river).
# Answer:
b. Person vs. nature

### Question 16
# Brief Explanations:
In the story, the narrator cuts the fishing line to impress Sheila, sacrificing the bass, and this choice haunts him. The other options don't match the story's plot.
# Answer:
c. He cuts the fishing line, sacrificing the bass
