Answer:
Answer of Question 1:
D. It acts as the falling action of the story by showing what happens to the person who wins the lottery.
Answer of Question 2:
C. Tessie’s obviously negative view of the lottery after she wins she conflicts with the readers’ previous view of the lottery as rather mundane to create suspense about why Tessie gets so upset.
Explanation:
Answer 1:
In “The Lottery” (1949) by Shirley Jackson, when Tessie Hutchinson comes in the center of a cleared space, the conflict is about to resolve. So it is falling action of the story.
Falling Action is defined as the part of a story right after the climax and before the very end. It resolves all the conflicts of the story and wraps up the narrative.
Falling action should not be confused with resolution or denouement of a story which is the end of the story. During falling action the conflict is being resolved, while at resolution the conflict has been resolved.
Answer 2:
The title of the story, the mention of square between bank and post office, the excitement among children, women and men of the village – all make readers view lottery as a sort of cash prize. The reader first has a slight conflict by reading about stones in the start of the story. But he/she (the reader) ignores it to give it any importance. The real conflict arises when Tessie protests at the result of the lottery when she wins it (or in fact loses it).
I would say B. because The common template of a broad category of tales that involves a hero who goes on an adventure, and in a decisive crisis wins a victory, and then comes home changed or transformed.
