Read the excerpt from "The Lottery." "They do say," Mr. Adams said to Old Man Warner, who stood next to him, "that over in the n

orth village they're talking of giving up the lottery." Old Man Warner snorted. "Pack of crazy fools," he said. "Listening to the young folks, nothing's good enough for them. Next thing you know, they'll be wanting to go back to living in caves, nobody work any more, live that way for a while. Used to be a saying about 'Lottery in June, corn be heavy soon.' First thing you know, we'd all be eating stewed chickweed and acorns. There's always been a lottery," he added petulantly. "Bad enough to see young Joe Summers up there joking with everybody." "Some places have already quit lotteries," Mrs. Adams said. "Nothing but trouble in that," Old Man Warner said stoutly. "Pack of young fools." Which character in this excerpt is in conflict with society, and why? Joe Summers is in conflict with society because he is joking with the villagers. Old Man Warner is in conflict with society because he believes that young folks have crazy ideas. Mrs. Adams is in conflict with society because she says some villages have stopped holding lotteries. Mr. Adams is in conflict with society because he is standing with the villager who represents society’s old ways.

Read the excerpt from “The Monkey's Paw.”
pashok25 [27]

Read the excerpt from “The Monkey's Paw.” Mr. White dropped his wife's hand, and rising to his feet, gazed with a look of horror at his visitor. His dry lips shaped the words, "How much?" "Two hundred pounds," was the answer. Unconscious of his wife's shriek, the old man smiled faintly, put out his hands like a sightless man, and dropped, a senseless heap, to the floor.

Which word helps reveal the mood of horror in the excerpt?

gazed

shaped

faintly

shriek

Answer:

Shriek

Explanation:

According to the excerpt from “The Monkey's Paw.”, the story of Mr White and his encounter with a seller when he was with his wife is told. Mr. White is said to have dropped his wife's hand and with a horrified look asked for the price and when he was told it was two hundred dollars, his wife shrieked and he became unconscious.

The word that helps reveal the mood of horror in the excerpt is the word "shriek" because it helps show the mood of horror and shock the couple faced.

the weapons act without bias

The things that are falling are bombs. The bombs do not care what they hit. They do not have a preference for roads, roofs, thickets, or people. The bombers drop them with a specific target line up, but the bomb does not care what that is. This adds to the overall tone and mood of the poem.
