- Character versus society: This conflict refers to the main character struggling with social forces, examples of this conflict are<em> a character</em> <em>being judged by the community</em> and <em> a character living in a harsh environment,</em> when a harsh environment refers to the social environment he is surrounded by.
- Character versus nature: When the protagonist struggles against forces of nature. An example can also be a <em>character living in a harsh environment</em>, when it refers to climate conditions.
The correct answer is the following: <em>option a. To maintain their credibility, the creators of The Declaration of Independence had to provide evidence of how they had been mistreated. </em>In the Declaration of Independence, the creators included a list of all of the abuses and mistreatment they had suffer from King George III, and how all of these were proofs of how important and needed the independence was. Examples of the evidence of mistreatment they provided were:
- The King's refusal to assent to laws that were for the greater good of the American people.
- The King forbidding his governors of passing laws that were needed in the colonies.
- The King pressured the judges based on his power and their salaries, so that they would work in favor of his interests.
