jayden waited anxiously as the judges made their final decision. for weeks, he'd been working on an experiment that showed how music rats learn to escape from a tunnel. jayden's twin sister, janice, was also in the running for a ribbon. her project showed how wind energy can be used to power homes. janice had won first prize at the science fair the last two years in a row. jayden wanted his sister to do well, but he wanted to be the one to take home the blue ribbon this year. time stood still as he waited for the judges' ruling. finally, they walked over to jayden's booth and placed a blue ribbon on his experiment. jayden couldn't believe it! a few moments later, janice came over and gave her brother a big hug to congratulate him.

the main conflict of the story can be described as
a) person against self.
b) person against person.
c) person against nature.
d) person against technology.

This describes B) person against person

Explanation:

This is because, as stated by the text, "Janice had won first prize at the science fair the last two years in a row. Jayden wanted his sister to do well, but he wanted to be the one to take home the blue ribbon this year."

The bolded words show emphasis on how to find the type of conflict in the text. Jayden is competing in a science fair, and his sister is a participant. She has won the last 2 years in a row. Jayden is competing against his sister. That shows person against person.

I hope this helps you!

the second sentence is a great revision in my opinion. that would be a great topic.

explanation:

the author is intending to draw attention to the plight of refugees, editorial and biography support this. both workpieces make the reader empathize with enrique as well as with the other young migrants from central america. the writer, however, is using a different approach to each text.

the editorial includes strong words to persuade readers. he is trying hard to convince readers in the us to change its refugee approach.

the biography relies on narrative techniques and figurative language which the writer uses wisely in the setting, characterization, and personification to educate readers on the topic.
