Which statement best tells how the main conflict in the first excerpt is different from the main conflict in the second excerpt? the first excerpt illustrates a global conflict, while the second excerpt illustrates a local conflict. the first excerpt illustrates an external conflict, while the second excerpt illustrates an internal conflict. the first excerpt illustrates an internal conflict, while the second excerpt illustrates an external conflict. the first excerpt illustrates a local conflict, while the second excerpt illustrates a global conflict.

The first excerpt illustrates an internal conflict, while the second excerpt illustrates an external conflict is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The question refers to the following excerpts:

Excerpt 1: He is afraid to be Nikhil, someone he doesn't know. Who doesn't know him. His parents tell him that they each have two names, too, as do all their Bengali friends in America, and all their relatives in Calcutta. It's a part of growing up, they tell him, part of being a Bengali.

Excerpt 2: At the end of his first day he is sent home with a letter to his parents from Mrs. Lapidus, folded and stapled to a string around his neck, explaining that due to their son's preference he will be known as Gogol at school. What about the parents' preference? Ashima and Ashoke wonder, shaking their heads.

An internal conflict is defined as a psychological one within the mind of a literary character and it is used to create suspense. On the other hand, an external conflict refers to the one that the character faces against another character or another outside force. The first excerpt refers to Nikhil and his feelings, while the second one refers to other characters. Due to this, option C is correct.
