The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely

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.

The witness's voice was steady and firm as she averred, "That is the man I saw."
Agata [3.3K]

If we imagine ourselves in the scene in which the witness speaks with a firm and confident voice saying "that is the man  I saw", the most probable thing is that it convinces us because she is very sure of herself, the witness does not doubt it for a moment, she/he is stating it.

The word <u>averred</u> can be replaced by <u>stated</u> since they have the same meaning. Other synonims can be claim, declare or affirm.

Natasha is in the middle of choosing a career. Arrange her actions in the decision-making process in the correct order.
kati45 [8]

Answer:

1. Natasha decides that she wants to be an equine veterinarian.

2. Natasha researches more about what it’s like to be a veterinarian.

3. Natasha learns more about the different possible veterinarian types.

4. Natasha decides that being an equine veterinarian is the best choice for her.

Explanation:

At the beginning we need to understand the nature of this process and its steps, so we could know what steps our options fall into.

The decision-making process is the process of making choices by identifying a decision, gathering information, and assessing alternative resolutions.

There are 7 main steps of the decision-making process:

Step 1: Identify the decision. You have to make a decision what topic you want to learn more about, it means what you want exactly and in what direction to move.<u> From the given choices - Natasha decides that she wants to be an equine veterinarian.</u>

Step 2: Gather relevant information. You have to gather as much information as you can on the needed topic, you can look everywhere: the internet, books, asking people, etc. <u>From the given choices - Natasha researches more about what it’s like to be a veterinarian.</u>

Step 3: Identify the alternatives. While you are searching for information, you will definitely run into alternatives to the needed topic. It is also very important to learn about alternatives. <u>From the given choices - Natasha learns more about the different possible veterinarian types.</u>

Step 4: Weigh the evidence. You have to evaluate what you've found. What you think is good for you and your future, and what is not.

Step 5: Choose among alternatives. Once you evaluated all the information on the needed topic and its alternatives, you need to choose what suits you best. <u>From the given options - Natasha decides that being an equine veterinarian is the best choice for her.</u>

Step 6: Take action. You have to start doing what you've decided (in our case, Natasha needs to attend university to become veterinarian).

Step 7: Review your decision & its consequences. After some times you see the results of your decision and evaluate it; if it was worth it or not, or you have to change your decision.

I hope it helped you :)
