Molly wonders if she should cheat on the test to pass the class or if she should risk failing because she knows she hasn’t really learned the material. which issue does molly face? external conflict moral dilemma situational irony personification

The correct answer is: Moral dilemma.

A Moral dilemma is a situation where a being is subjected to make a decision between two options with undesirable outcomes.

In this example, Molly must decide whether to cheat in a test or risk failing, and is aware of the consequences befalling each option. Molly must then decide if it is worth living with the scorn of having cheated rather than opting for the more benevolent path of rightfully failing the test and preparing herself for another chance.

Since both of the options are undesirable to the subject and one of them is a matter of sacrificing moral values, this is considered a Moral dilemma.
