Read the passage from “initiation.” it would be rather fun for a change, millicent mused, getting her books out of her locker in the hall, rather exciting to be part of a closely knit group, the exclusive set at lansing high. of course, it wasn't a school organization. in fact, the principal, mr. cranton, wanted to do away with initiation week altogether, because he thought it was undemocratic and disturbed the routine of school work. but there wasn't really anything he could do about it. sure, the girls had to come to school for five days without any lipstick on and without curling their hair, and of course everybody noticed them, but what could the teachers do? the author most likely included the information about the principal’s and teachers’ reactions in order to create a character vs. nature conflict. resolve a character vs. character conflict. complicate millicent’s character vs. self conflict. introduce another character vs. society conflict.

The author most likely included the information about the principal’s and teachers’ reactions in order to introduce another character vs. society conflict.

The principal is the character who is clashing with the society around him, including the remaining teachers as well as the students. There is no nature here, so it can't be char vs. nature; he is not resolving a conflict but rather introducing a new one; this isn't about Millicent per se; this is why the final option should be the correct one.

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.
