From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler takes the form of a letter from Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler to her lawyer, Saxonberg. And what a letter it is.
Twelve-year-old
Claudia Kinkaid decides to run away from home with the help of her
little brother, Jamie (who is just nine years old). With Jamie's money
and Claudia's smarts, they bust out of that suburban joint and run to
somewhere that any kid would love. Disneyland? The rainforest? Sweden?
Nope—they end up at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Less kid-friendly,
but more filled with pretty, elegant things.

Answer:
C. Mrs. Adams is in conflict with society because she says some villages have stopped holding lotteries.
Explanation:
The given excerpt from Shirley Jackson's short story "The Lottery" shows the scene where all of the villagers were together to cast lots about who was to be chosen the <em>"winner"</em> of that year's lottery. The practice of this barbaric stoning to death of the <em>"winner"</em> seems like an annual ritual to them though they hardly ever remember why or how it came up to be.
In the excerpt, the conflict between a person and society is seen when someone seems to criticize what is happening in the society or talks against it. And when Mrs. Adams remarked that some villagers had stopped holding the lotteries, she is in direct conflict against the practice/society. This shows that she may have also deemed it unnecessary, but given the patriarchal society she's living in, her voice or opinion hardly matters to anyone. This is also quite evident when Old Mister Warner immediately retorted "<em>Pack of young fools</em>." The conflict with society collides with the need to preserve the practice, thus leading to Mrs. Adams' comment as something bad or working against the very nature of the traditional lottery.

<u> C. skip the general directions and go straight to the first section.</u>
To do this may be a big mistake since the general directions of a test contains keys information and guidelines on how to answer the questions properly (For example, to use a minimum or maximum of words in a composition, to select no more than two options in multiple selections, to be aware of certain aspect of the test, etc.). If they are not taking into account, it is highly possible that the answers will be qualified as incorrect for not following the guidelines given, even if the content of the answer is correct.
