Answer 2

C) Conflict is developed as the Shuttlesworths encounter opposition.

Step-by-step explanation:

In these lines, we see an example of how an author can develop conflict. Conflict is the main problem of a text, and it happens when the protagonists clash with the antagonists. In this story, the protagonists are the reverend and Mrs. Shuttlesworth, and the antagonists are the crowd of white men. As they encounter each other and clash, we learn what the conflict is. The rest of the story will most likely deal with the resolution of the conflict.
