Answer:

optimistic

Explanation:

The witer 's tone is optimistic , which makes the ending even more surprising and tragic. This optimistic tone is illustrated through the underlined words : "The morning of June 27th was <u>clear</u> and <u>sunny</u>, with the <u>fresh warmth </u>of a <u>full-summer</u> day; the flowers were<u> blossoming profusely</u> and the grass was <u>richly </u>green.." This tone will give the story  a sinister atmosphere since this setting refers to the fact villagers meet in a square to play the lottery, which sounds quite normal , but then, the result of the lottery consists in  killing one villager.

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer: D) The King attempted to trap Mamad, but underestimated the man's dedication

Explanation:

King did want to attempt to trap Mamad, but he did not realize that Mamad only speaks of the things he can truly guarantee or that he saw with his own eyes. That is why he refused to say King will surely come to the feast. That is where Mamad's dedication lies, how he manages never to lie, and how King failed to fool Mamad.

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

Explanation:

Freneau’s poems on the force of the imagination may seem to be light-years away from his political poetry; such, however, is hardly the case. His poems on politics and the imagination merely represent two sides of the same coin whose mint is freedom.
