Read this dialogue. may: my piano recital is next week. it’s too soon! i haven’t perfected the piece yet, and i don’t have anything appropriate to wear. mother: oh, no! that is soon. which night? may: thursday night at the cultural arts center. which continuation of the dialogue best resolves the conflict? mother: your father and i will clear our schedules; we are available to attend on thursday night. mother: you may stay up later this week to practice, and we can shop this weekend. mother: the cultural arts center is newly remodeled, and it is a fitting venue for your performance. mother: it is always a challenge to find the right thing to wear for special occasions.

The answer is:

Mother: You may stay up later this week to practice, and we can shop this weekend.

In the dialogue, May experiences two conflicts: she must perfect her piano piece as well as find suitable clothes to wear at the recital next week. Her mother's suggestions to go to bed later than usual this week in order to practise and to go shopping for clothes at the weekend best deals with May's struggle to be ready for Thursday's recital.
