Answer:

C). The Villagers made adjustments to the lottery as the population grew.

Explanation:

In the short story titled 'The Lottery' penned by Shirley Jackson, paragraphs 6 and 7 offer the details which suggest that 'the villagers made adjustments to the lottery as the population grew.' This deduction is substantiated through the descriptions like 'so much of the ritual had been forgotten or discarded ... paper slips substituted the wooden chips as the population had grown and the chips need to fit in the black box.' The <u>lapsing of rituals like 'swearing-in ceremony, a recital by the lottery official, a ritual salute, etc. further substantiate that the adjustments</u> in the lottery have been made with the growth of the population. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer

Which lines in this excerpt from act IV of Shakespeare’s Romeo and juliet reflect the conflict of person versus the unknown?
Lisa [10]

Answer:(JULIET wakes)

JULIET: O comfortable friar! where is my lord?

I do remember well where I should be,

And there I am. Where is my Romeo?

FRIAR LAURENCE: I hear some noise. Lady, come from that nest

Of death, contagion, and unnatural sleep:

A greater power than we can contradict

Hath thwarted our intents. Come, come away.

Thy husband in thy bosom there lies dead;

And Paris too. Come, I'll dispose of thee

Among a sisterhood of holy nuns:

Stay not to question, for the watch is coming;

Come, go, good Juliet,

(Noise again)

I dare no longer stay.

JULIET: Go, get thee hence, for I will not away.

(Exit FRIAR LAURENCE)

What's here? a cup, closed in my true love's hand?

Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end:

O churl! drunk all, and left no friendly drop

To help me after? I will kiss thy lips;

Haply some poison yet doth hang on them,

To make die with a restorative.

(Kisses him)

Thy lips are warm.

devlian [24]

Answer:

In my opinion, machines are a threat to humans even though they make our lives easier and we do not have to work as hard to get a task completed the ways in which humans decide to use machines can be a threat not only to other humans but to the environment.

Yes, I do agree with Dr.Hawking that artificial intelligence may one day equip computers with the technology to outsmart humans. Somehow this is kind of what the world is aiming to do which is shocking as most persons are going to be jobless as machines will do their jobs for them. With less humans having jobs poverty is going to strike our land causing people to die from hunger not to mention healthcare and a stable shelter.
