Answer 2

Answer:

The type of conflict that characterizes the events in the mentioned passage is C. character vs. society.

Explanation:

Some of Phoebe's main features are her imagination and her ability to make up stories, that often results in her lying or exaggerating. The fact is that this use of imagination and stories is a copying mechanism against society. The underlying reason is that her is missing and she lies in order to cope with the fact that she might have just abandoned Phoebe. Phoebe's conflict with society makes her cover up things about her personal life with lies.
