It would be B Neutral tone, Literal. Ok to the reason it would be neutral is because it isn’t like positive or negative, it is just simply stating that the snake discovered in the woodshed was nearly seven feet long. And it would be literal because there isn’t like a hidden meaning in the sentence that you have to think about or like any figurative like such as similes or metaphors. It is telling us there is that there was literally a snake discovered hiding in the woodshed that was nearly 7 feet long

Answer:
A). It takes place annually, in late June.
Explanation:
The statement that is accurate regarding the short story 'The Lottery' authored by Shirley Jackson is that the rite known as 'lottery' took place annually in the town towards the end of June. In the story, the lottery event took place on the 27th of June(late June) when the townsfolk gathered together for accomplishing the tradition. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer and the others are incorrect because the townspeople were excited about the tradition instead of putting an end to it. The children gathered stones before the event which signifies that they were extremely willing to participate and neither of the people was willing to change except Tessie Hutchinson who was eventually stoned to death as she questioned the tradition and used reason.
The verb in this sentence is 'listen' and the subject is 'directions'
Good luck! :)
