The premise of the poem revolves around the narrator's confliction over killing the man because although the man has been nothing but good to him, the strange blue eye "haunts" and annoys him.

Answer 2

Answer: B) struggles with his decision to kill the old man.

Explanation: in literature, a conflict is a struggle between opposite forces, usually between a character (the main character or a very important one) and himself (internal conflict), society or another character (external conflict). In the given excerpt from "The Tell-Tale Heart" we can see an example of an internal conflict, because the narrator explains how the old man has been always good with him, and yet he wants to kill him because of his vulture eye.
