I smiled to myself as I remembered the game that made me a star ten years ago . . . The rain was pouring down as I stepped out onto the football field. It was the last game of the season, and we had yet to lose a game. Today might be different. We were playing the state champions, and they were undefeated. I took a deep breath and fastened my helmet. The game was about to begin.

What is the conflict in this selection?
Question 20 options:

A.The team is playing the state champions.

B.It is the last game of the season.

C.The team has won all its games.

D.The weather is rainy.

Answer 1

Option A is the correct answer

The conflict in the selection above is the fact that the team is playing the state champions, although they had never lost a game themselves in the current game season, the state champions were also undefeated. However, we can infer that the team eventually won the game because the writer says that was the the game that made him a star; the game could not have made him a star if they lost.
