Answer 2

The correct answer is D. Mr. Hyde clubs and tramples the old gentleman to death in the street.

Explanation:

A character vs. character conflict is a type of conflict or struggle between opposing forces in which the obstacle or force that stop a character from achieving some goal or affects negatively the character is another character. This means in character vs. character conflict there is a direct contest or combat between two characters in the story. In the excerpt presented, multiple actions and conflicts including the way in which one of the characters Mr. Hyde starts beating an old gentleman until the gentleman dies unable to defend himself or scape while a maid witness all the events. Therefore, in the excerpt presented the actions of Mr. Hyde against the old gentleman represent the opposing forces between two characters or a character vs. character conflict as Mr. Hydes interrupts the life of another character and stops him from continue living. Thus, the action that best illustrates a character vs. character conflict is "Mr. Hyde clubs and tramples the old gentleman to death in the street" because this is the action that describes the way the old gentleman (a character) struggles an opposing force that is represented by another character  (Mr. Hydeas) and which unfortunately the old gentleman does not defeat.
