Answer:
Tessie Hutchinson is stoned to death to appease forces desiring a sacrificial lamb offered in atonement for the sins of others, with no questions asked.
Explanation:
The random persecution is done according to the rules of the lottery. The rules have long been the ritual which seems logical to the villagers. However, there is no reason behind the annual persecution. People just blindly follow the tradition and the leader in the village, regardless of the fact whether that person should die or not. It is a collective murder. Society wrongfully designates scapegoats to bear the sins of the community.
Answer:
D) The Lesser Nuthatch, a bird known to be widespread in the forests of the Kamchatka Peninsula, is very similar to the Banded Nuthatch in appearance
Explanation:

This is part of the reasons why some animals with similar resemblances tends to be classified under same class under the classification of animals. Despite the fact that there is an established point of the nuthatch bird being extinct in the 19th century, the claim that the ornithologist being wrong in sighting the nuthatch could be weaked if the birds happens to be <u>the Lesser Nuthatch.</u>

Answer:
The literary movement or sub-genre that matches with the literature - The sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" is Early American and Colonial Literature. The right answer is Option A.
Explanation:
Sermons were written in plain style rather than ornate d religious poetry. They focused on daily life, moral attitudes and political unrest. The literature was instructive as it reinforced the authority of the Bible and the Church in it. Fate was determined by God and all people are sinful and must be saved by the Christ - were the themes of this literary period. Puritanism started as an insult of traditional Anglicans to those who wished to "purify" the Church of England. Jonathan Edwards’s "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" had been written during this phase.
The motive of delivering this sermon is to warn the congregation particularly and presumably, the nation as a whole that they must repent of their sinful ways. They must turn to God for forgiveness to escape death by hellfire before it's too late. Edwards is saying that this is the opportunity to embrace and accept Jesus Christ, his teachings and his sacrifice as reparation for sins. The choice must be made by those people who God is calling, through Jesus Christ, to accept the call to repentance and a new life or reject it.
