This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.

Read the excerpt from “The Lottery.”

"We're next." Mrs. Graves said. She watched while Mr. Graves came around from the side of the box, greeted Mr. Summers gravely and selected a slip of paper from the box. By now, all through the crowd there were men holding the small folded papers in their large hand, turning them over and over nervously Mrs. Dunbar and her two sons stood together, Mrs. Dunbar holding the slip of paper.

What is the purpose of the descriptive language in the excerpt?

It builds suspense as people prepare for the results.

It shows how mean-spirited the people have become.

It shows the indifference of the people toward the lottery.

It causes readers to reflect on a time when they worried.

Answer: It builds suspense as people prepare for the results.

Explanation:

The use of lots of descriptive words, including many adjectives, and specific verbs. A description that refers to the five senses could be helpful to create a better visualization. In this case, there are lots of descriptive words that even get a little repetitive, such as: "from the side of the box", "a slip of paper from the box", and "holding the small folded papers in their large hand". This builds tension in a dramatic scene.

I believe the answer is: <span>. it is extensive and time consuming.

When homework is extensive and time consuming, students would be forced to spend their time reading a lot of materials and understanding the core of its content. Because of this, the information that they get from doing the homework would stay longer in their memory and help them even in future tests.</span>

This was an example of a <u>push poll.</u>

<h3><u>How do Push Polls work?</u></h3>

The term "push poll" can be as misleading as the practice of push polling itself because what is commonly referred to as a push poll is actually a strategy for "pushing" voters away from one candidate or party and toward another.

Telemarketing tactics include pushing polling. A voter who receives a call from someone conducting a push poll will simply hear what appears to be a regular opinion or research survey being conducted on the other end of the line. However, neither the information gathered from the voter's responses nor, in fact, any analysis of their viewpoints will be done.

One positive thing about this is that it make the flow of information become much more easier, but one negative thing about it is that it is really hard to separate which knowledge are true and which are not.
