Question

Which type of conflict does this passage contain? Jay stared glumly at the poster, which announced auditions for the school play. He would have loved to try out for it. In fact, he would love to do anything apart from studying. But he knew that his father wouldn’t allow it. His father probably wouldn’t even let him take time away from his studies to watch the play. According to Jay’s father, extracurricular activities only served to distract young people from achieving the highest grades.

character versus nature

character versus society

character versus character

character versus self

Answer 1

It seems to be character versus character. There is no mention of nature or society in the excerpt, and the character is not being restrained by himself. The father appears to be the major person keeping him from doing what he likes.

Answer 2

The answer should most likely be character versus character reason being because it is the only reasonable answer.
