Answer 1

Internal, internal, external, external

Answer 2

A. Internal

B. Internal

C. External

D. External

Step-by-step explanation:

The first example is an internal conflict because Juliet is torn between her family ties to Tybalt and her love for Romeo. The second case is similarly internal because Romeo is torn between the need to follow the law and his love for Juliet and Verona. The third example is external because the conflict occurs between the two lovers and their families. Finally, the last conflict is between the two lovers and "fate" or "destiny," which makes it an external conflict.
