Answer 1

Answer:

In the given paragraph, the correct answer would be option 2.

 Indicating that, " It shows that Gretchen lacks confidence; this establishes a man vs. self conflict. "

Explanation:

Basically, she is not acting like she does not care about winning and she is certainly not being boastful. Because she seems upset and her tone is that of tantrum throwing.
