Answer 1

This quote is from "The Most Dangerous Game"
D. Person vs. Self and Person vs. Environment 

Answer 2

Answer: D) Person vs. Self and Person vs. Environment.

Explanation: in literature, a conflict is a struggle between opposite forces, usually between a character (the main character or a very important one) and himself (internal conflict), society or another character (external conflict). In the given excerpt, we can see two types of conflict, the first one is an internal conflict (person vs. self) because the speaker is hungry and looking for food, and the second one is an external conflict (person vs. environment) because the speaker is describing the place where the men were as "a snarled and ragge jungle."
