Question

Help I have learning disability

Every time the kid mispronounced my name, I just wanted to scream. I told him how to say it correctly and other people did, too. Still, he keeps saying it wrong, as if he's doing so on purpose. If he does it one more time, I just don't know if I can control myself!

What is the narrator's conflict in this passage?

A. He has a violent temper that he cannot control.
B. He doesn't like "the kid" he mentions in the paragraph.
C. He doesn't like someone mispronouncing his name.
D. He has a history of beating up kids he doesn't like.

Answer 1

C -- there is no evidence in the passage to support any other answer but this one

Answer 2

Answer: C) He doesn't like someone mispronouncing his name.

Explanation: in literature, a conflict is a struggle between opposite forces, usually between a character (the main character or a very important one) and himself (internal conflict), society or another character (external conflict). In the given excerpt we can see that the narrator conflict is that he doesn't like someone mispronouncing his name (like the kid is doing), so the correct answer is option C.
