Hermione Granger always sought to find a compromise to any conflict that she was involved in.  But whenever the issue involved her parents, she always gave into their needs.  What could explain her change in behavior?

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The stem presents Hermione's pattern: she typically seeks compromise, but when it involves her parents, she prioritizes their needs over her own. This sets up a question about what could explain this shift in behavior.
Option 1: 'She engages in C-type conflict.' If we assume C-type conflict refers to a particular category of conflict, there is no information in the prompt that specifies Hermione is engaging in a different type of conflict in parental contexts, so this option explains a behavior pattern that isn’t clearly evidenced by the stem.
Option 2: 'She is concerned only with her needs.' This directly contradicts the observed behavior described in the prompt, where she yields to her parents’ needs rather than focusing on her own, making this option inconsistent with the example.
Option 3: 'She avoids all types of conflict.' The text shows she tries to compromise generally, but with her parents she changes course and yields, which indicates she does not simply avoid conflict across all situations; thus this statement overgeneralizes her behavior.
Option 4: 'All answers are correct.' Since options 1–3 contain assertions that do not align with the stated pattern (and one even contradicts it outright), this umbrella option cannot be accurate.
Option 5: 'The relationship with her parents is more important than anything else.' This option aligns directly with the described change in behavior: when the issue concerns her parents, relational importance overrides personal preference, explaining why she would yield in that specific context.
In synthesis, the reasoning behind Hermione’s behavior is best captured by the emphasis on the relationship with her parents taking precedence over other concerns, whereas the other options introduce either unsupported conflict types, incorrect self-focus, overgeneralization about avoidance, or an incorrect composite claim.
