Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

C. .Conflict is developed as Arnetta is disciplined by the nuns at her school.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conflict can be defined as the struggles between a main character and other forces. It helps to give a story a purpose which keeps the readers more interested in wanting to know what happened to the character.

Types of conflict

1. Internal conflict: As the name implies, it is the conflict that occurs within a character such as the struggles of indecision.

2. External conflict: This on the other hand occurs between a character and other forces such as between the main character and other characters or between a character and his/her environment.

The excerpt showed that when Arnetta Streeter was in elementary school, she wanted to become a nun because nuns were very strict. But probably later in life, she changed her mind from becoming a nun and this shows conflict within herself.
