Answer:

In this story, winning the lottery means that you are stoned to death, not the recipient of a great prize. Secondly, the description in the first paragraph of the story is also ironic. Jackson describes the day as "clear" and "sunny," for instance, and notes that the flowers are "blossoming."

One example of irony is that Tess is chosen to be the one for the lottery yet in the beginning she is portrayed to be a carefree woman that cares for her family and a person the town likes. Also old Man Warner makes fun of towns that are wanting to get rid of The Lottery and he thinks that means they will go back to primitive times. Though it is the opposite because that town is moving forward by abandoning dated traditions to match moral standards.

Based on the evidence provided in the paragraph, what is the best prediction?
torisob [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is D) Devin will be disappointed by the weather.

Explanation:

Devin had started out the day before preparing for his game. He had dotted every 'I' and crossed every 'T'.

Given that the rain was intensifying at 7am, it's most likely that it would ruin the day. On the balance of probability, it is possible the game will be canceled due to flooding or just because the field might not be in the best shape for a game. It is also possible that Devin might sleep through the alarm given the cool weather induced by the rain.

Ultimately, Devin would most likely be disappointed.

Cheers

Why is hyperbole useful in poetry
