EOC Practice #1 Yolanda helped Sarah carry the last box from her bedroom to the moving van. Although she’d known this day was coming, Yolanda couldn’t help feeling sad about her best friend’s move. Sarah promised that they would see each other often, but this did little to comfort Yolanda. When Sarah’s dad told her it was time to go, she gave Yolanda a big hug. Before getting in the van, Sarah handed Yolanda a card and told her to read it later. Yolanda waved goodbye as the moving van disappeared down the street. When she returned home, Yolanda remembered Sarah’s card. She opened it and saw sunflowers on the front. The inside read, “You will always be my best friend.” Yolanda smiled and started making plans to visit her friend’s new home. Question : The main conflict in the story causes Yolanda to have strong emotion is A. Sarah’s moving away B. The heaviness of the boxes C. The stress of school D. The problem of the city
