The correct answer is "A".

It is previously known by the reader that all the villagers in town are gathering together for the traditional lottery which is celebrated every June 27. However, due to the small population in the town (only 300 people), there is an expectation for Tessie's arrival at the event, due to the fact that every resident is expected to participate. This is known when the person responsible for leading the event asks if there is anyone missing and she gets the immediate response that an individual named Dunbar is not there.

_____ compare something that your audience knows and understands with something new and different.
Leona [35]

Analogies compare something that your audience knows and understands with something new and different.

Because Analogies contrast something that is fresh and different with something that your audience is familiar with and understands. As a result, you can utilize an analogy in your speech to draw a comparison between your speech topic—something novel and unique for the audience—and a well-known concept.

Strong conclusions are essential because they give speakers one last opportunity to emphasize the significance of their message, announce the end of their speech, and aid the audience in recalling the key points of their speech. Analogy is a cognitive process that involves transferring knowledge or meaning from one topic to another, or it can also be expressed linguistically.
