Read the excerpt from "The Lottery."

The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green. The people of the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and the bank, around ten o'clock; in some towns there were so many people that the lottery took two days and had to be started on June 26th, but in this village, where there were only about three hundred people, the whole lottery took only about two hours, so it could begin at ten o'clock in the morning and still be through in time to allow the villagers to get home for noon dinner.

Based on the details provided about the setting in the excerpt, what kind of emotions would a reader most expect the townspeople to be feeling?

A.)anticipation and lightheartedness
B.)sadness and regret
C.)anger and grief
D.)irritation and boredom

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: A)

Explanation:

This passage is showing anticipation and lightheartedness in the author because at first, he is predicting what will happen and he is not saying and describing that with boredom, anger, grief, or sadness, that is why other answers B, C, and D are incorrect.

He is showing lightheartedness at the beginning of the story where he is describing the day as ''clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green. ''

THE MARTIAN: Throughout the story, the Martian says that Mrs. LaFarge knows what he is and that the other townspeople, when they encounter the Martian, know what he is. Why do you think the people do not care and want the Martian anyway, even though they know that what they are seeing and experiencing is not real?

Answers

Answer:

The people, even after knowing that what they are seeing and experiencing is not real, wanted the Martian because they all saw in him that one person who was mostly in their minds.

Explanation:

'The Martian Chronicles' is a Sci-Fi written by Ray Bradbury, of dystopian living of human on planet Mars, after nuclear war attacks on planet Earth.

In the account dated September 2005/2036, the novel chronicles about the life of LaFarge and his wife Anna, who lost their son Tom on Earth. One thunderstorming night, a figure like Tom appears on their door. LaFarge soon learns that he is not Tom, but a Martian, who has the ability of shape-shifting. Even after everyone in the town learned about 'the Martian', of who he is, they still wanted him because they all saw in him that person, who was mostly in their minds. For instance, the Martian appeared to be Tom, the dead son of LaFarge and Anna; and lost daughter Lavinia to Spaulding family; to some he appeared criminal, etc.

They wanted to have the Martian because they did not want to lose that person who was mostly on their minds once again.

Dr. Renee Carr, a clinical psychologist, says that the neuronal pathways that cause other kinds of addiction, such as drug addiction, "are the same as an addiction to binge-watching. Your body does not discriminate against pleasure. It can become addicted to any activity or substance that consistently produces dopamine."

On page 258, how does Quentin relate his realizations during the road trip back to Walt Whitman's Leaves of
Grass?
A. In observing the other people on the road, Quentin ponders the fact that we can hear others and imagine them and that we
are connected to them, as Whitman suggests, but we can never fully become another.
B. In observing the other people on the road, Quentin thinks about the fact that while he considers himself to be a unique
individual, so does everybody else around him, even though at the end of the day they probably have more similarities than
differences.
C. Quentin observes his friends in the car and feels deeply connected to them in a way he hasn't felt before, like the root
system of the leaves of grass that Whitman discusses.
D. Quentin looks at the other people around him on the road and their selfishness and poor etiquette toward one another, and
he begins to think that perhaps Whitman was too optimistic about the goodness of humanity.

Read this excerpt from an argumentative essay:

Some say that the parks cost the American taxpayer too much money. Every year, millions of dollars are funneled into a national park system that is too large and extensive to maintain. Many arguments have been made for the money to be spent somewhere else, but let’s look at the reality. These parks may cost us money, but they also generate millions of dollars of income for the American people. Parks like Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Canyon are world-famous tourist destinations. Millions of visitors from within the United States and from foreign countries arrive at both locations every year to behold their wonders. These tourists spend money at the parks, at the businesses that are located near the parks, and along the way. Our national parks are important revenue-making entities.

help the Frank family during the two years they hid from

received a medal from Yad Vashem.

Answers

Answer:

Although Miep Gies never considered herself a hero, after the war, many other people did.

Explanation:

The central idea (also called the main idea or key idea) of a piece of writing is the main point the author is making. The statement that best summarizes the central idea of the given excerpt is the third one: Although Miep Gies never considered herself a hero, after the war, many other people did.

The passage begins and ends by telling us that Miep Gies didn't like being called a hero. When determining what the paragraph is about, we should pay attention to both the first and last sentences. The first sentence is called the topic sentence, and the last is the concluding sentence. Both of them summarize the content of the paragraph.

The rest of the statements are examples of supporting details - pieces of information that explain, describe, illuminate, expand, or clarify the central idea. They tell about Miep Gies' accomplishments, explaining why many people considered her a hero, despite her insisting that she wasn't one.

This is why the third option is the correct one.
