Stanley Acevedo · Answer 1

C. The sergeant has to discipline Private Roe, but he doesn't want to.

Explanation:

Conflict happens when there are contradictions in what is to be done and what is done or what is needed against what will happen or any scenario that works against each other rather than together. A conflict arises when one thing opposes another thing, working against each other.

And among the given examples, the most conflict can be seen in the sergeant's position of having to discipline a Private but doesn't want to. This presents a conflicting scenario where the Private needs to be disciplines but the sergeant doesn't feel like doing it. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
