Read the passage from “Initiation.”
It would be rather fun for a change, Millicent mused, getting her books out of her locker in the hall, rather exciting to be part of a closely knit group, the exclusive set at Lansing High. Of course, it wasn't a school organization. In fact, the principal, Mr. Cranton, wanted to do away with initiation week altogether, because he thought it was undemocratic and disturbed the routine of school work. But there wasn't really anything he could do about it. Sure, the girls had to come to school for five days without any lipstick on and without curling their hair, and of course everybody noticed them, but what could the teachers do?
The author most likely included the information about the principal’s and teachers’ reactions in order to
create a character vs. nature conflict.
resolve a character vs. character conflict.
complicate Millicent’s character vs. self conflict.
introduce another character vs. society conflict.
The author most likely included the information about the principal’s and teachers’ reactions in order to introduce another character vs. society conflict.
Introduce another character vs. society conflict.
To answer this question, we need to analyze the passage provided. The passage mentions the principal, Mr. Cranton, wanting to do away with initiation week because he believes it is undemocratic and disrupts school work. However, the passage also states that there isn't really anything he could do about it, and that the teachers couldn't do anything either.
From this information, we can infer that the author included the information about the principal's and teachers' reactions in order to introduce another character vs. society conflict. This conflict arises because the principal and the teachers are not able to stop or change the initiation week, despite their objections and concerns.
Therefore, the correct answer is: introduce another character vs. society conflict.
