Answer 1

B. A conflict between the boy and the girl

Step-by-step explanation:

A conflict in a story is a barrier or hurdle between two characters in the story that must be overcome for the plot to move to a conclusive end. In the story titled 'Araby', there is a conflict between the boy and Mangan's sister.

He has an attraction for her which he tries to convey. His efforts at this can be seen in his willingness to go all the way to the bazaar to purchase something nice for the girl at her request. He also battled with his internal feelings whenever he saw the girl.
