Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
What is the author's purpose for using a black spot on the paper?
Read the passage from "The Lottery."
Bill Hutchinson went over to his wife and forced the slip of paper out of her hand. It had a black spot on it, the black spot Mr. Summers had made the night before with the heavy pencil in the coal-company office. Bill Hutchinson held it up, and there was a stir in the crowd.
O to represent the darkness of death
to maintain the tradition of the lottery
O to enhance the mystery of the lottery
O to represent the horror of disobedience
Answer:
O to enhance the mystery of the lottery
Explanation:
The author presents the black spot on the paper as a way to convey a mysterious sensation to the reader. This is because the reader does not understand what this black spot represents, but understands that it is not a good and fun thing. In this way the reader begins to doubt the nature of the lottery and what it refers to. In this case, the author manages to show through the black spot on the paper, the mystery that the lottery carries, thus imposing a suspense in the plot.

Maes Howe: A Twofold Treasure
"Maes Howe, a chambered tomb located in Scotland's Orkney Islands, is older than the pyramids. Built from
enormous stones, the tomb has one long, narrow entrance with a ceiling so low that visitors must hunch over as
they pass through it. The entrance faces toward the winter sun's location at sunset around the shortest day of the
year.Ancient rituals were performed there. Long after it was abandoned by its builders, Vikings broke into Maes
Howe and left runes carved in its walls. The collection of runes—Viking graffiti-shares sentiments familiar in any
time: "Ingigerth is the most beautiful of women"; "Haermund Hardaxe carved these runes." What looks from the
outside to be simply a round, grassy hill on a small, wind-swept island represents an amazing historical find for
two different eras.
Explain why the following inference is true or false.
"The builders of Maes Howe considered the winter sun important."
Answer:
I do not quite know this answer, but I will try my best to help out..
Explanation:
Because the tomb was built so long ago without modern day tools and technology, it probably took many people a very long time to build it.
Hope it helps.
The inference is true because the tomb was built a long time ago without modern tools and technology.

if you were a manager how can you help your company maintain its its competitive edge? essay
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
What I would do if I were a manager to help my company to maintain its competitive edge, would be the following.
As the owner of my company, I would first establish the right corporate culture so every employee would follow it through.
Then, I would make sure to hire the best people available in the labor market. For that to happen, I have to establish a good compensation package and salary that would be attractive to hire and retain the best employees.
Then I would marketing research to directly hear from my clients and consumers what they have to say about my products and services. This will give a clear idea of their opinion and what they are expecting of my company.
Then, I would invest in technology to make my processes more efficient and effective.
I would practice a financial audit in order to have every process regulated and make employees know that there is only one way to do things in my company: the right way.
I constantly communicate with all employees because I think this is one of the most important things to generate understanding and trust.

Read the excerpts from "opening statements from John F. Kennedy and Richard M. Nixon First Televised Debate."
Kennedy: I think we can do better. I don't want the talents of any American to go to waste. I know that there are those who want to turn everything over to the government. I don't at all. I want the individuals to meet their responsibilities. And I want the states to meet their responsibilities. But I think there is also a national responsibility. The argument has been used against every piece of social legislation in the last twenty-five years.
Nixon: I will concede that in all the areas to which I have referred Senator Kennedy would have the federal government spend more than I would have it spend. I costed out the cost of the Democratic platform. It runs a minimum of thirteen and two-tenths billions of dollars a year more than we are presently spending to a maximum of eighteen billion dollars a year more than we're presently spending.
On what point do Kennedy and Nixon disagree?
Kennedy wants the federal government to spend more and take a more active role in solving problems than Nixon does.
Kennedy thinks state and local governments should solve the nation's problems, while Nixon thinks only the federal government can do so.
Kennedy believes only money will fix the nation's problems; Nixon thinks only hard work will do so.
Kennedy does not want to turn all of the nation's problems over to the government, while Nixon does.
Answer:
Kennedy wants the federal government to spend more and take a more active role in solving problems than Nixon does.
