what is the difference between these two?

Question

I have to do an oral presentation for the novel, "the Pianist"

what is the difference between task 1 and 2?

1. The conflict in the novel is identified
2. Students say what the conflict was

Answer 1

1 is what is the obvious conflict shown in the novel
2 is what the student thinks the conflict is if it is not obvious in the novel

hope that helps!
