Answer: 1) Conflicts of Character vs Society, 2) Conflicts of Character vs Supernatural

Explanation:

1) The main conflict of "The Lottery" revolves around the close-minded villagers against the "rebel" woman that questioned the old method of "the lottery". In the line: "she held her hands out desperately as the villagers moved in on her", you read about the stone confrontation between The Character and the Society.

2) In literature, Conflicts of Character vs Supernatural include "fate", which Tessie faces. Despite complaining about the non-sense tradition, she is tied to the patriarchal rules and is destined to be sacrificed. In the line: “It isn’t fair,” she said. A stone hit her on the side of the head", you can see that at the end of the story, her words didn't matter to her destiny.
