[he] seized the lappet of my coat . . and dragged me out. he took me up in his right fore-foot, and held me as a nurse does a child she is going to suckle, just as i have seen the same sort of creature do with a kitten in europe; and when i offered to struggle, he squeezed me so hard, that i thought it more prudent to submit. which excerpt from the passage above represents a character vs. nature conflict? i. “but the greatest danger i ever underwent in that kingdom was from a monkey” ii. “[he] seized the lappet of my coat . . and dragged me out” iii. “when i offered to struggle, he squeezed me so hard” i, ii, and iii i and ii i only i and iii the answer is i, ii, and iii

The correct answer is A. I, II and III

Explanation:

In literature and therefore in stories a conflict is a struggle between one character and other elements or characters in the story, this includes conflict between two characters (Man vs Man conflict); a conflict between one character and the society (Man vs Society); conflicts between one character and technology or machines (Man vs Machine) and the conflict between one character and nature (Man vs. Nature).

In the case of character vs. nature or man vs. nature the character struggles against natural forces or elements in nature such as weather or storms but this can also include animals as they are elements from the nature and not usually consider as characters except if they have human-like features, which is not the case in the excerpt from "Gulliver's Travels" in which the main character Gulliver struggles against a monkey as the monkey catcher Gulliver's coat lappet. Thus, considering the monkey represents nature and the excerpt refers to the conflict between the character and the monkey all I, II, III represent character bs. nature conflict as (I) introduces the monkey, (II) explains the beginning of the conflict and (III) describes Gulliver's reaction to it.

it was surely an odd creature that one made up by reading the historians first and the poets afterwards a worm winged like an eagle; the spirit of life and elegance and charm,   in a kitchen chopping up suet. but these creatures, monst'r however entertaining to the imagination, hast no existence in fact. what one might doth to bringeth h'r to life wast to bethink poetically and prosaically at one and the same moment,   thus keeping in toucheth with fact—that the lady is mrs martin, ag'd thirty-six, did dress in blue, wearing a black coxcomb and brown shoeth; but not losing sight of fiction eith'r—that the lady is a vessel in which all s'rts of spirits and f'rces art coursing and flashing p'rpetually. the moment, howev'r, yond one tries this method with the elizabethan mistress, one brancheth of illumination fails; one is did hold up by the scarcity of facts.   one knoweth nothing detailed, nothing p'rfectly true and substantial about h'r.   hist'ry scarcely mentions h'r.   and i did turn to professeth'r trevelyan again to seeth what hist'ry meanteth to that gent.   i hath found by looking at his chapt'r headings yond t meanteth.
