I would pick C for the second question. If your text has a different answer, that one will be considered "correct". If you disagree with someone you dislike, it's easy to avoid conflict. You just ignore them and go about your own business. If you disagree with someone significant in your life (a parent, spouse, sibling, friend, etc.), conflict may result. You must come to an agreement, agree to disagree, find compromise, etc., for the relationship to continue successfully.
Let me add that a relationship with a co-worker or team member is significant. You may dislike the person, but the relationship is significant, so conflict may well arise, and must be dealt with somehow.
what about question 1
For the first question, the correct answer is actually "conflict involves disagreement; contention involves anger." Conflict refers to a disagreement or clash of opinions or interests between two or more parties. It does not necessarily involve anger. On the other hand, contention refers to a state of conflict that is intense and marked by anger, hostility, or aggression.
For the second question, the correct answer is "those whom you love most deeply." It is natural for conflicts to arise in relationships with our loved ones because we have a deeper emotional investment and higher expectations from these relationships. Conflicts with strangers or those whom we dislike are less likely since we may not have a strong emotional connection or investment with them.
And for the third question, the correct answer is neither A nor B. While it is true that conflict is a normal part of relationships, it is also possible to avoid unnecessary and unhealthy conflicts. The key to avoiding conflict in relationships is effective communication, empathy, active listening, compromise, and setting healthy boundaries. Avoiding conflict does not mean submitting to what your partner wants or establishing agreements before entering into a relationship. It is about finding a balance and resolving conflicts in a respectful and constructive manner.
