Answer:

2. The type of conflict happening in this passage is Character Vs Character.  

3. Yes, the conflict is physical.

Explanation:

• The passage is extracted from the novel 'The Land' by Mildred D. Taylor.

• The Land (2001), well penned by celebrated African American novelist Mildred D. Taylor, is the fifth instalment in her Logan Family Saga and a prequel to her Newbery Award-winning book 'Roll of Thunder', 'And 'Hear My Cry'.

• In the years after the American Civil War, Paul-Edward Logan, the son of a white plantation owner and a half-Native American, half-African American former slave, battles to define himself and obtain the land of his dreams in the coming-of-age novel The Land.

• So it is evident in the above passage that, it is in the context of the post-Civil War America setting, Mitchell's behaviour could be considered the most possibly foolish act but not embarrassing.

• His foolish act made him get involved in a conflict or physical battle with George where physical forces (here, an axe) were involved.

• This physical conflict between the two characters (George and Mitchell) was intervened by Hammond.
