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.

PRESENT RESERVE - Do these words
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

3. mean neither the same nor opposite.

Explanation:

To be "present" describes the action of existing or occurring in a particular moment. It also refers to a time period that is occurring at the moment of speaking (such as, "present tense"). On the other hand, "reserve" refers to preserving something for future use, or to having a quantity of something that is not used yet, but is saved for the future. Therefore, these two words do not mean either the same or the opposite.

What type of mood is created in this excerpt from "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe?
galben [10]
If you read the poem slowly and think about it, you get this mysterious type of feel.
This explains the tapping on the window, and later the knocking on the door.
Therefore the mood is mysterious.
