Double Double · Answer 2

The correct answer is C. Glen must decide whether to cheat on a test or fail the class.

Explanation:

In literature, an internal conflict occurs as one character struggles in his/her mind or against himself/herself, this occurs in the case the character struggles against beliefs, emotions, ideas and also in the case the character needs to make a difficult decision. This means, option C "Glen must decide whether to cheat on a test or fail the class" represents an internal conflict because in this case, the character struggles against his principles, moral and beliefs while trying to make a decision and the conflict is in the character's mind.
