"Connotation of words implies a happy time". "And people were anxious to get the lottery started."

This describes that people were anxious about the lottery and met in the square at 10 o'clock. it also describes the weather conditions of the day but does give us a context of it.

Zarrin [17]
What is the physical fear to which he refers?According to Faulkner, there are no longer problems of the spirit because somepeople have forgotten that the basest of all things is to be afraid. Many people justquestion the moment in which they are going to be blown up. Also, it is a writer’s job towrite about the honor, compassion and love the spirit felt while he was alive.(b)Thephysical fears to which he refers are the way oneself looks, what people think about each<span>other and not the feeling you are supposed to have in you</span>

Answer:

Question 1: make no change, the grammar is correct in sentence 1.

Question 2: Change it's to its, because it's is used to shorten 'it is,' and is not used for possession.

Question 3: Change kaos to chaos.

Question 4: Change chose to choose, because chose is past tense.

Question 5: Change the period to a question mark.

Hope this helps, I tried to explain as much as i could ;)
