Explanation:

Conflicts are the obstacles that characters must face in order to have their goals met. They are the main resource to show rather than count. Don't say that the protagonist is strong, put him in a conflict where he can use force. Don't say that the antagonist is angry, put him in a conflict where he can express all his fury.

As you may know, in "The Most Dangerous Game" there is a situation where the protagonist character must escape the sick and dangerous game created by the story's insane villain. The sentence in the letter B shows this conflict created between the two characters, because it is in this sentence that shows a character seeking courage to overcome the unhealthy and cruel situation created by the other character.

what is the question?

explanation:

substitute y = 2x - 4 to x + 2y = 12:

x + 2(2x - 4) = 12     use distributive property

x + (2)(2x) + () = 12

x + 4x - 8 = 12     add 8 to both sides

5x = 20     divide both sides by 5

x = 4

put the value of x to the first equation:

y = 2(4) - 4

y = 8 - 4

y = 4
