In this excerpt from Robert Cormier’s “The Moustache,” which pair of sentences shows the main character dealing with an internal conflict?
I was about to protest—I had never heard of a Chesterfield, for crying out loud. But I stopped. Be patient with her, my mother had said. Humor her. Be gentle.

We were interrupted by an attendant who pushed a wheeled cart into the room. “Time for juices, dear,” the woman said. She was the standard forty- or fifty-year-old woman: glasses, nothing hair, plump cheeks. Her manner was cheerful but a businesslike kind of cheerfulness. I’d hate to be called “dear” by someone getting paid to do it. “Orange or grape or cranberry, dear? Cranberry is good for the bones, you know.”

My grandmother ignored the interruption. She didn’t even bother to answer, having turned away at the woman’s arrival, as if angry about her appearance.

Answer: The pair of sentences that shows the main character dealing with an internal conflict are "I was about to protest—I had never heard of a Chesterfield, for crying out loud. But I stopped. Be patient with her, my mother had said. Humor her. Be gentle."

Explanation: Just to elaborate a liitle on the answer, it can be added that the last excerpt can be discarded, since it does not show an internal conflict. It is just describing the way one of the characters behaved. Likewise, the second excerpt shows that the main character does not like to be called "dear" by the attendant, and he does not reveal his displeasure, but that cannot be described as an internal conflict. The first excerpt, however, does show that the said character is dealing with an internal conflict: his urge to protest and reveal his anger, and his decision to be patient and refrain from doing so.

“Persephone”
by Walter Wykes

your laughter echoes still
in that bright field where you played
so carefree, a little goddess
arms white as milk
gathering flowers with your playmates
when the earth shook
and through the crumbling ground
your monstrous lover burst
an uninvited guest
snatching you away
plucking your innocence
as you had plucked flowers
only moments before

how you must have cried out
must have begged for your release

when your mother learned of the abduction
her grief stopped the earth, the moon, the stars in their tracks
the world became eternal winter
there was no consolation, no solace
no moving on

what an unexpected miracle when you returned to us
a gift from the gods

but you are not the same
no longer that bright child
a handful of seeds has sealed your fate
and though all things flourish in your presence
your laughter is colored by that other place, that dark lover
and in your eyes cold winter reigns

At first, man was enslaved by the gods. But he broke their chains. Then he was enslaved by the kings. But he broke their chains. He was enslaved by his birth, by his kin, by his race. But he broke their chains. He declared to all his brothers that a man has rights which neither god nor king nor other men can take away from him, no matter what their number, for his is the right of man, and there is no right on earth above this right. And he stood on the threshold of the freedom for which the blood of the centuries behind him had been spilled.

But then he gave up all he had won, and fell lower than his savage beginning.

—Anthem, Ayn Rand

Read the excerpt from The Dark Game. On several occasions Room 40 received an unexpected but welcome gift when a German codebook was recovered after a sea battle and presented to the British code breakers. One such gift was a codebook from the German ship Magdeburg, a light cruiser that ran aground on an island off of Finland. When Russian ships quickly bore down on the cruiser, the captain of the stranded ship immediately did what all naval officers were taught to do: he ordered his signalman to bring him the ship's codebook so he could throw the book, wrapped in lead covers, into the sea. But before the signalman could deliver the book to his captain, he was killed by Russian guns. When the Russians recovered his body, the sailor was still clutching the codebook in his arms.

Read the passage. excerpt from "Slavery a Positive Good" by Senator John C. Calhoun, February 6, 1837 In the decades preceding the United States Civil War, the practice of slavery was a widely debated topic. While many opposed this unjust practice, others, especially in regions that were economically dependent on forced labor, advocated in support of slavery. This speech by Senator John C. Calhoun represents pro-slavery viewpoints from this time period leading up to a war to make slavery illegal in the United States. I hold that in the present state of civilization, where two races of different origin, and distinguished by color, and other physical differences, as well as intellectual, are brought together, the relation now existing in the slaveholding States between the two, is, instead of an evil, a good—a positive good. . . . I hold then, that there never has yet existed a wealthy and civilized society in which one portion of the community did not, in point of fact, live on the labor of the other. . . . I may say with truth, that in few countries so much is left to the share of the laborer, and so little exacted from him, or where there is more kind attention paid to him in sickness or infirmities of age. Compare his condition with the tenants of the poor houses in the more civilized portions of Europe—look at the sick, and the old and infirm slave, on one hand, in the midst of his family and friends, under the kind superintending care of his master and mistress, and compare it with the forlorn and wretched condition of the pauper in the poorhouse. . . . I fearlessly assert that the existing relation between the two races in the South, against which these blind fanatics are waging war, forms the most solid and durable foundation on which to rear free and stable political institutions. It is useless to disguise the fact. There is and always has been in an advanced stage of wealth and civilization, a conflict between labor and capital. The condition of society in the South exempts us from the disorders and dangers resulting from this conflict; and which explains why it is that the political condition of the slaveholding States has been so much more stable and quiet than that of the North. . . . Surrounded as the slaveholding States are with such imminent perils, I rejoice to think that our means of defense are ample, if we shall prove to have the intelligence and spirit to see and apply them before it is too late. All we want is concert, to lay aside all party differences and unite with zeal and energy in repelling approaching dangers. Let there be concert of action, and we shall find ample means of security without resorting to secession or disunion. Which quotation from this excerpt best represents reasonable evidence?

A. “...— look at the sick, and the old infirm slave, on one hand, in the midst of his family and friends, under the kind superintending care of his master and mistress”

B. “ The condition [slavery] of society in the south exempts us from the disorders and dangers resulting from this conflict, . . .”

C. “... there never yet existed A wealthy and civilized society in which one portion of the community did not, in point of fact, live on the labor of the other....”

D. “...Where to races of different origin,... Are brought together, the relation now existing in the slaveholding states between the two, is, instead of an evil, a good—...”

Read the following paragraphs from "The Cabuliwallah."

Saying this, he put his hand inside his big loose robe and brought out a small dirty piece of paper. With great care, he unfolded this and smoothed it out with both hands on my table. It bore the impression of a little hand, not a photograph. not a drawing. The impression of an ink-smeared hand laid flat on the paper. This touch of his own little daughter had been always on his heart, as he had come year after year to Calcutta to sell his wares in the streets. Tears came to my eyes. I forgot he was a poor Cabuli fruitseller, while I was but no, was I more than he? He was also a father.
