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.

What makes a friendship and, at the beginning, how do you know
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Okay this is a tough one but lets go

Explanation:

So there's more than one definition of friendship

there's the dating, but basically best friends friendship, that's highlighted by just the right amount of romantic chemistry that make them more than friends

there's the best friends, inseparable pairing, that are to ride or die team, the together? together. team, they've definitely seen each other nakey, but they don't care, they're not romantic

there's the awkward friends, who'll either drift apart, or will progress into one of the other categories, they usually rush into a friendship, but it's cool

there's our friends with benefits, they do the nasty, but aren't in love with each other, it's basically a healthy friendship with some one-night stands

then there's our frienemies, the one's that are either "best friends" or fighting and trash-talking each other, outta all the friendships I have here, this is the most toxic

then, last one, there's our enemies to friends, they used to hate each other, but then they realize that they actually have stuff in common and they actually don't find them bad

so there's some friendships for you, hope this helps:)
