Read the passage from "The Lottery."
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

to suggest that children consider the lottery a game and do not understand it

Explanation:

According to the passage from "The Lottery", the narrator describes school being over for the summer and how uneasy the children were feeling about their liberty.

He describes Bobby Martins and some other boys picking up the smoothest and roundest stones and gathering them in a pile and guarding them.

Kavitha is trying to decide whether to drink alcohol, knowing that her parents are strongly opposed to drinking. According to Fr
ira [324]

Answer:

A). Id: Superego.

Explanation:

As per Freud's theory, Carol's struggle would be described as the outcome of the conflict between her id(which reflects her desire to drink) and her 'superego'(morality or social standards principle that prevents/discourages her for drinking). Freud in his theory of human mind described 'id' as the 'instinctive and impulsive part' that operates unconsciously on our pleasures and impulses(no association to reality) while 'superego' functions to control the impulses of Id as it functions on morality goals and focuses on ideal or standard goals(through guilt). Therefore, Carol's instincts/desires drive a temptation in her to drink but her moral self aims to prevent her from these immoral instincts. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
