In “The Lottery” how does the fact that names are called and people select their piece of paper work to create suspense?

The way the lottery is done in "The Lottery" builds suspense by sparking the reader's interest as to what the lottery is. Once the reader comes to understand that being chosen for the lottery is a bad thing (even though it is not clear exactly what it is until the end), it is suspenseful that names are drawn and called out, because it is a slow way to reveal who is <em>not</em> the loser of the lottery, building the anticipation of the reader, and the fear/nerves of the characters. This is a successful way to form suspense for those both in and out of the story, because both the reader and characters know that something bad is going to happen, but it is a mystery as to whom it will happen.

Which sentence has a pronoun with an unclear, missing, or confusing antecedent?
Ghella [55]
I believe it would be B, because there are two subjects that the speaker is referring to at the beginning of the sentence; the caterpillar and the leaf. When they use the word "it" in the second half of the sentence it is unclear whether they mean to say if "it" is the leaf or the caterpillar which they are carrying to their brother.

harkovskaia [24]

The best answer is A. When people know how to handle stress, they are able to live happier and healthier lives.

<em>It is the best ending statement as it gives positive idea to the idea. Rather than ending the sentence in a negative way, this statement emphasize the importance of handling and managing stress. The sentence is simple but full of meaning and use. </em>
