Read the excerpt below and answer the question. “Hey, kid, how old are you?” The man interrogating me was an inmate. I could not

see his face, but his voice was weary and warm. “Fifteen.” “No. You’re eighteen.” “But I’m not,” I said. “I’m fifteen.” “Fool. Listen to what I say.” * * * [Dr. Mengele] looked like the typical SS officer: a cruel, though not unintelligent, face, complete with monocle. He was holding a conductor’s baton and was surrounded by officers. The baton was moving constantly, sometimes to the right, sometimes to the left. In no time, I stood before him. “Your age?” he asked, perhaps trying to sound paternal. “I’m eighteen.” My voice was trembling. How is this excerpt from Elie Wiesel’s Night an example of an internal conflict? Select all that apply. he corrects the inmate when the man gets Eliezer's age wrong he is afraid of what Dr. Mengele is going to do to him he considers whether or not to trust the inmate who tells him he's not fifteen he must decide whether or not to tell Dr. Mengele the truth about his age

Answer: C) he considers whether or not to trust the inmate who tells him he's not fifteen and D) he must decide whether or not to tell Dr. Mengele the truth about his age.

Explanation: A conflict in a story is a struggle between opposing forces, usually between the main character and some other force, that can be another character, society or even himself. Without the conflict the story wouldn't have any point. An internal conflict is a struggle between a character and himself, in the given excerpt from "Night" by Elie Wiesel, we can see examples of internal conflict when the speaker considers whether or not to trust the inmate and when he decides whether or not to tell Dr. Mengele the truth about his age.

I think there are two ptions that show internal conflict:

1) He considers whether or not to trust the inmate who tells him he´s not fifteen.

In this case he doesn't know the inmmate and doesn't know the exact reason hes telling him to lie. One reason is because he wants to help him, that information would save his life from the SS. The other option is that the inmmate is selfish and by telling him to lie, the kid will be punished instead of him. The kid must decide then if he trusts him or not.

2) He must decide whether or not to tell Dr. Mengele the truth about his age.

In this case he has even more doubts, he knows Mengeles reputation and he doesn't know how much information does he have and how will it affect him. If he lies he might know it and punish him or that lie could save him.

The conflict is real because his life could depend on the decissions he makes.

C. Allegory

Explanation:

Allegory is known as an extended metaphor whereby a long narrative is used to teach a lesson or prove a point from an absurd, unrelated story. The story usually has an implied and literal meaning.

So, a writer that comes up with an outrageous solution to poverty just to highlight the heartlessness and absurdity of the rulers he lives under uses an allegory to tell his story.

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

The settings of the story takes place at the Ethel River.

Explanation:

'In the Jaws Of the Aligator' is a short story written by P.C Arnoult.The story is about a tug-of-war between an alligator, antagonist, and the protagonist, Ume, over the body of protagonist's wife, Taita.

The setting of the story is a time and place or location of when and where the story took place. A setting may include geographical location, weather, time, social or cultural environment, etc.

In the story 'In the Jaws of the Alligator', story's setting is the 'Ethel River.' The story took place at the Ethel River, where protagonist along with his wife, Taita and an eight-year-old son went to collect mussel-shells, an ingredient that helps to make lime. It is at this setting, the protagonist had a tug-a-war with the alligator, the place where the alligator caught hold of his wife, and the place where she died. Another element of this settiing is that the place have the possibility of having alligators. That's the reason Ume and his son were keeping watch over alligators.

Read the excerpt from Act I of Hamlet.
Anettt [7]

Answer:

A. The simile compares the poison to a fast-moving, toxic element, emphasizing its deadliness.

Explanation:

The ghost doesn't compare the uncle to poison. Nor does he personify the vial. He is literally explaining how the uncle poisoned him by poured the poisonous plant hebona into his ear. Lastly, an apostrophe in literature is when you address someone who isn't there. The ghost isn't addressing the uncle. I believe he is speaking to Hamlet in this scene.
