Answer 5

The type of conflict that best characterizes the events in this passage is B. character vs. nature. In this passage, the character is facing a struggle with the natural elements surrounding them, such as the wet ground, straggly branches slapping and scratching at their legs, and the uneven terrain causing them to trip and tumble. The description of the environment and the physical obstacles the character faces indicate that the conflict is primarily with nature. To determine this answer, I analyzed the text and considered the actions and challenges faced by the character within the passage.
