Which of the following is the best definition for an archetype?
a. an existing text on which an author draws to create a new work of literature
b. a brief reference to a significant literary, historical, or cultural person, place, event, or statement used to make an idea more easily understood
c. a character, situation, or symbol that represents something universal about human nature or the human experience
d. none of the above

the correct answer is option c. elenita versus "early puerto rican decor" is the best example, out of all the options, of a cultural conflict. a cultural conflict is defined as what happens when different cultures, that have different values and believes, clash. elenita not liking or accepting the puerto rican style of decoration, would represent that she does not identify herself with the puerto rican culture, therefore does not want to have decorations influenced by that culture.
