In a story, the most significant conflict is usually between what two elements?

Characters
Plot
Setting
Theme

The correct answer is: Characters

In a story, the most significant conflict is generally between two opposing characters or groups of characters rather than plot, setting, or theme. While these elements may also contribute to conflict in a story, they are typically secondary to character conflict. This is because the conflict between characters drives the plot forward and is ultimately what makes the story interesting and engaging. Plot, setting, and theme may provide context or add depth to the conflict, but they are not typically the central focus in a story.
