The statement that best tells how the main conflict in the first excerpt is different from the main conflict is "The first shows an internal conflict related to emotion, while the second shows an external conflict related to cultural differences".

The Namesake is a novel written by Jhumpa Lahiri. It tells the story of a Bengali couple who moves to the United States and the way in which they deal with the social and religious differences between the two cultures. The first excerpt presents an internal conflict related to an emotion because the character is struggling against his own thoughts and mainly against his fear of being Nikhil. On the other hand, the second excerpt shows an external conflict related to cultural differences because the narrator is referring to the dissimilarities between the American and the Bengali culture in terms of education. In other words, in contrast to the first excerpt, the second excerpt  is making reference to an outside force.
