A character has a conflict or problem with - the school, the law, etc.

• A. Internal Conflict
• B. Man vs. Nature
• C. Man vs. Society
• D. Man vs. Man

Answer: (C)

This question tests the idea of different kinds of conflict in stories. When a character’s problem is with the school, the law, or other rules and institutions, the struggle is against society—the larger social system that shapes what characters can and cannot do. That’s why the best fit is Man vs. Society: the obstacle comes from outside the character, in the form of rules, norms, or institutions. It’s not about an inner inner struggle (internal conflict), not a fight with nature (man vs. nature), and not a fight with another person (man vs. man). So the scenario describes a clash with social forces, which is exactly Man vs. Society.
