Which story premise contains the most conflict? A. Elves and dwarves come together to celebrate in a victory feast.
B. A construction worker finds out that she has just won the lottery.
C. The sergeant has to discipline Private Roe, but he doesn't want to.
D. Moira, a painter, becomes inspired and paints all night long.

C. The sergeant has to discipline Private Roe, but he doesn't want to.

Explanation:

Conflict happens when there are contradictions in what is to be done and what is done or what is needed against what will happen or any scenario that works against each other rather than together. A conflict arises when one thing opposes another thing, working against each other.

And among the given examples, the most conflict can be seen in the sergeant's position of having to discipline a Private but doesn't want to. This presents a conflicting scenario where the Private needs to be disciplines but the sergeant doesn't feel like doing it. Thus, the correct answer is option C.  

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

wordsworth tends to see nature as 'out there'; a presence which surrounds humans, and contributes to human life, but is different from humans. if you look at a typical wordsworth poem (there was a boy, ye knew him well ye rocks) - wordsworth talks about nature as something that needs to be learned about and understood, nature is different from us.  

if you look at a byron poem (the isles of greece is a good one) - byron looks at nature mainly for what it already means to man. wordsworth will look at a landscape and see the mountains, trees, valleys, and rivers as almost spiritual presences - wordsworth wants to get to know nature.  

byron will look at the same landscape and he will want to know who lives there, what are the villages? are there any farms or mines, is there some history?  

wordsworth looks at nature for what it is; byron is forever asking what it means.  

wordsworth thinks that humans are part of nature; byron thinks that nature is part of being human
