Question

what is external conflict?
a conclusion reached on the basis of evidence
a character struggles against someone or something outside himself or herself
a temporary state of mind
a character struggles within himself or herself

Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze each option:

• The first option ("A conclusion reached on the basis of evidence") is a definition of inference, not conflict.
• The second option ("A character struggles against someone or something outside himself or herself") matches the definition of external conflict, as it involves a character facing opposition from an outside force.
• The third option ("A temporary state of mind") defines a mood or emotion, not conflict.
• The fourth option ("A character struggles within himself or herself") defines internal conflict, which is a struggle within the character, not external.

Answer:

The correct option is the purple - colored one with the text "A character struggles against someone or something outside himself or herself"
