Answer 1

The sentence from the excerpt that best reveals how the conflict will be resolved is: "For a few moments we both stood frozen, staring at each other like two llamas eyeing the same patch of grass." (paragraph 18)

This sentence suggests that there was a moment of tension and uncertainty between two characters, but they eventually reach a resolution.
