Question

Frank and Samantha just received a large inheritance when Samantha's grandmother passed away. Since it was Samantha's grandmother, she felt like she should be able to spend the money how she wanted: building a room addition on their house. Frank disagreed and wanted to buy a more fuel-efficient car that they could drive to and from work. Which of the following is true about this situation?

a. This is an example of conflict because it involves an expressed struggle.
b. This is an example of conflict because it involves scarce resources.
c. This is an example of conflict because it involves incompatible goals

Answer 1

The answer is: ALL APPLY (A, B and C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Expressed struggle exists because both Frank and Samantha are conscious about the conflict and both know a disagreement exists.

Scarce resources are involved because there is not enough money to buy or build all the things that Frank and Samantha want.

Incompatible goals are involved because Frank and Samantha want different things; Frank wants a new car and Samantha wants a new room.
