Read these excerpts from "The Lottery" and answer the question.
From paragraph 1:
... the whole lottery took less than two hours, so it could begin at ten o'clock in the morning and still be
through in time to allow villagers to get home for noon dinner.
From paragraph 10:
"Well, now." Mr. Summers said soberly, "guess we better get started, get this over with, so we can go back to
work.
The underlined phrases set an ironic tone since they imply that
this June the lottery will be held in a less formal setting
this year's drawing of names will be held in a less relaxed atmosphere
the current lottery will be less beneficial to everyone compared to last year's
the community's raffling of names will cause little interruption in its daily life

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The underlined phrases set an ironic tone since they imply that:

D. the community's raffling of names will cause little interruption in its daily life.

Explanation:

Shirley Jackson (1916-1965) was an American writer whose horror and mystery stories are still very successful. Among them is "The Lottery", a short story in which the community of a rural village carries out a lottery every year in order to decide who will be stoned to death.

That is right, however scary it may seem: the people draw pieces of paper, and the one to get the dotted piece in the end is killed by the other villagers. Dying and killing should be a great deal, a terrible thing, right? Yet, as we can see in the phrases in the question, they were not that great or terrible. The villagers are actually kind of in a hurry to get it all over with as soon as possible, so that they can go back to work. How ironic is it that something that is a matter of life and death should be done so frivolously? They kill, and then move on with their lives, going back home in time for lunch.

Read the sentence: "You don't have to reimburse
me for dinner it's my treat."
Which option shows the best place to add a
semicolon to the sentence?
Select one:

Answers

The correct answer is D. You don't have to reimburse me for dinner; it's my treat.

Explanation

The semicolon (;) is a punctuation mark made up of a period superimposed on a comma. Experts consider the use of this sign to be subjective. One of its main uses is to separate sentences with semantic relationships, which is used when two sentences are joined without a conjunction. An example of this is "You don't have to reimburse me for dinner; it's my treat" because it is separating two sentences that do not have conjunction that relates them, but that are related. So the correct answer is D. You don't have to reimburse me for dinner; it's my treat.

In a short essay of 2-3 well-developed paragraphs, compare and contrast reading the story with watching the video.

First, evaluate the choice of costumes, set, and actors in the film compared with the text version. Why did the director make the choices he did, and what effect did they have on the story, plot, theme, and/or viewing experience?

Then, explain how the video changed or deepened your understanding of the story and its theme. Use specific evidence from the text of the story, as well as the video, to support your ideas and observations. (Make sure you explain specifically what the theme of the story is, too!)

Answers

Answer:

What sets apart the short film from the story is the director's choice of details. The setting seemed to be made as normal as possible, a simple small town in America. He added foreshadowing by doing a close up of Tess Hutchinson's nervous, smiling face and the closeup of rocks in the boy's pocket. He had the benefit of using pauses to increase suspense, and the actress was free to express Tess's outrage at the lottery.  The overall visual of the movie is more detailed because we see the expressions of seriousness and unease in each face.

There are plenty of similarities between the story and video as well. They are both heavily suspenseful, the atmosphere appears to be dark, like something doesn't feel right. The moment were the boys are gathering rocks, in both works it was a sign they were up to no good, but the audience was not aware why until the story progressed. Both were true to the simplistic lifestyle of the townspeople, and how casually they carried out this morbid tradition for agricultural purposes.  

In conclusion, they both successful covered the themes of the story regarding  mob psychology, following traditions blindly, scapegoating, and the reliance chance-based games.

Hello. Unfortunately it is not possible to discover your experiences and progress in the course you have taken and it is not possible to present the reasons that would lead you to recommend this course to other students. You haven't even said the course you're referring to. This makes it impossible for your question to be answered. However, I'll provide five sentences below that you can use as a template to write your own sentences, based on your opinion of the course. Hope this helps you.

The course was very influential in my academic life, as it stimulated my knowledge, extended my information and promoted new knowledge that will be very important for my life. In addition, the course promoted very good social interaction, allowing me to make very beneficial friendships and meet new people with similar interests to mine. The course also gave me the opportunity to express myself and get my thoughts and opinions out, without fear of judgment. This freedom of opinion and argument made the classes very participative and fruitful and this is the biggest reason why I recommend this course to new students.

softball are not timed, either. (2) Instead, games last for nine innings, unless there is a tie after the ninth, in which case they go extra innings. (3) Nine-inning games last an average of three hours. (4) Extra innings tack on time to an already long game, but the end is always the most exciting part. (5) Most people in the US watch baseball and are fans of their hometown team.

Which sentence should be revised to eliminate a misconception?

Answers

Answer:

D). Sentence 5

Explanation:

As per the question, the fifth sentence in the given paragraph needs to be revised to remove the misconception as it conveys an opinion('Most people in the US watch...hometown team' without any supporting evidence that may mislead the readers. The first four sentences provide a factual description of the game of baseball, its distinctiveness due to being timeless, and the rules associated with it. While the last sentence goes off-track and displays a belief that the majority population watches baseball and admirers of their respective home teams. Thus, this must be revised as it not only creates a delusion but also breaks the flow of the idea by immediately shifting from facts to general idea. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
