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.

Write two to four sentences explaining how Stevenson generates suspense in the first two chapters of The Strange Case of Dr. Jek
viktelen [127]

Answer:

In the beginning of Stevenson's novel, the reader knows very little about what's really going on who is Mr. Hyde, what is his relationship to Dr. Jekyll, why is Mr. Hyde so repellent to everyone around him. This lack of information makes the novel mysterious and creates suspense. The setting also helps, since part of the action takes place in relatively sordid parts of London.

Explanation: Hope this works!

Explain why social media platforms are so popular.
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Answer below

Explanation:

In my personal opinion, I would say that it is popular because of a number of things, but here's 3.

1. It gives you a platform to make friends and share your interests online in hopes of finding people you share common interests with.

2. It also can technically be a job, where you can makes lots of money given the right amount of effort is put in.

3. It's a big source of entertainment. Short videos, pictures, tweets and so much more can be very interesting and take up a lot of someones time.

Again, this is my personal opinion, the answer to this can be very broad and depends on you, but I hope this helped give you a better idea. Much luck in whatever way this helps you!
