Step-by-step explanation:
What is an internal conflict?
An internal conflict is a conflict within your mind. Ex: Joy was terrified of roller coasters. This is an example of an internal conflict because it is within Joy's mind.
The answer choices are:
A. Kevin wants to take Katie to a dance, but his best friend Jason has already told Lauren and Ashley that he and Kevin would take them.
B. When Kevin and Katie go to the dance, who should show up but Thomas, the prom king, who hangs around and keeps cutting in.
C. Kevin asks Katie to go with him to a dance, but she refuses, saying she would rather go with Adam.
D. Kevin is going to a dance with Katie, but on the way to her house he gets a flat tire.
A is correct because the conflict is happening within Kevin's mind. He doesn't know if he should follow his heart and go with Katie to the dance, or if he should be polite and go with Lauren or Ashley to the dance. This is a conflict of decision; thus, an internal conflict.
B is incorrect because Thomas's constant interruptions are happening externally, making then an external conflict.
C is incorrect because Katie's refusal to go with Kevin is happening outside of his or her mind. She is audibly and verbally reusing to go with him, making this an external conflict.
D is incorrect because Kevin's car getting a flat tire is happening outside of his mind. If it happens externally, it is an external conflict.
