Transcript text: How do sections 24-25 set up tension for the end of the story?

Solution

Answer

The answer is B. It resolves the "person vs. nature" conflict, but not the "person vs. person" conflict.

Explanation

Option A: It escalates the hatred and conflict between Ulrich and Georg.

This option is incorrect because sections 24-25 do not escalate the hatred and conflict between Ulrich and Georg. Instead, these sections show a shift in their relationship as they begin to reconcile and consider ending their feud.

Option B: It resolves the "person vs. nature" conflict, but not the "person vs. person" conflict.

This option is correct because sections 24-25 depict Ulrich and Georg trapped under a fallen tree, which is a "person vs. nature" conflict. As they are forced to confront their situation, they start to resolve their personal animosity, but the external conflict with nature remains unresolved, creating tension for the story's conclusion.

Option C: It resolves the conflict between Ulrich and Georg, making the reader expect a happy ending.

This option is incorrect because, although Ulrich and Georg begin to resolve their personal conflict, the story does not necessarily set up a happy ending. The unresolved "person vs. nature" conflict and the presence of external threats maintain tension and uncertainty about the story's outcome.
