How are conflict and plot related?
conflict is the only component of the plot structure.
conflict is the part of the plot structure in which everything is brought to a peaceful resolution.
conflict is the part of the plot structure in which the setting and characters are first introduced.
conflict occurs within the plot structure and involves a struggle between two characters, forces, or situations.

The fourth alternative is correct (D).

The plot is the content from which this text is constructed. The plot always has a nucleus, which we call conflict. It is this conflict that determines the level of tension and expectation applied in the narrative. It is in the plot that the events that form the text unfold. In addition, the plot is directly linked to the characters, since it is the story that tells about them.

read this excerpt from “incidents in the life of a slave girl.”

i went about my evening work with trembling steps. mr. flint twice called from his chamber door to inquire why the house was not locked up. i replied that i had not done my work. "you have had time enough to do it," said he. "take care how you answer me! "

i shut all the windows, locked all the doors, and went up to the third story, to wait till midnight. how long those hours seemed, and how fervently i prayed that god would not forsake me in this hour of utmost need! i was about to risk everything on the throw of a die; and if i failed, o what would become of me and my poor children? they would be made to suffer for my fault.

at half past twelve i stole softly down stairs. i stopped on the second floor, thinking i heard a noise. i felt my way down into the parlor, and looked out of the window. the night was so intensely dark that i could see nothing. i raised the window very softly and jumped out. large drops of rain were falling, and the darkness bewildered me. i dropped on my knees, and breathed a short prayer to god for guidance and protection. i groped my way to the road, and rushed towards the town with almost lightning speed.
