"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.

Q.No.10) Write a letter to your father calling him to come back to<br>Nepal from foreign country. ​
notsponge [240]

Dear friend.

I am writing this letter because I woke up missing you so much and I couldn't help but tell you how important you are, not only to me, but to everyone who loves you here in Nepal.

For this reason, I believe it is time for you to return to your land and the people who love you. You've been away for so long, I believe you're missing it too and want to see and live with your people.

Your family is growing, your country is growing and it would be a shame you weren't here to witness it all and live in the culture that is truly yours.

However, I don't want to pressure you into making this decision. I know that everything happens at the right time and at the right and appropriate time you will decide to go home. I hope this happens soon, as I really wanted to see you.

With love

M.S.
