Question

which statement is true of conflicting perspectives in stories?
○ they exist only between enemies.
○ they never occur within a single character.
○ they are revealed entirely through dialogue.
○ they can be revealed explicitly and implicitly.

Explanation:

• The first option is wrong because conflicting perspectives can exist between friends, family, or even within a group with complex relationships, not just enemies.
• The second option is incorrect as internal conflicts (conflicting perspectives within a single character) are common in stories, like a character struggling with two choices.
• The third option is wrong because conflicting perspectives can be revealed through actions, thoughts (narrative), or other literary devices, not just dialogue.
• The fourth option is correct. Conflicting perspectives can be shown explicitly (e.g., direct statements from characters) or implicitly (e.g., through actions, subtext, or the character's internal thoughts that hint at differing views).

Answer:

D. They can be revealed explicitly and implicitly.
