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 a descriptive essay about my best subject​
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Most would say, your best subject is probably one you excel at. I, on the other hand, believe that the best subject is one that interests you and you don't need an incentive of a good grade to start the initiative. Therefore, my favorite subject is history. Although many would say it's boring and you don't need it, I find it interesting how people back then lived their day to day lives. In conclusion, history, in my opinion, is my best subject.

Explanation:

Don't worry I did this in my own words ;) also I don't really like history.
