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.

How do the details in the passage support the central idea? the details compare the egyptian process of refining sugar to proces
andre [41]

D) The details describe the extensive and repetitive process necessary to create white sugar.

Sugar drove the enlargement of ECU empires in the Atlantic international. From its cultivation in the Atlantic Islands in the 15th century to its manufacturing in Cuba and Louisiana after British and French emancipation within the nineteenth century, sugar was continually the dominant crop in the Atlantic.

The valuable concept of the textual content is that sugar had a nice and terrible effect on the arena. The imperative idea of the text is that there are many “hidden prices” within the impact of the sugar enterprise.

Marc Aronson and Marina Budhos were inspired to write down this e-book after they discovered that they each have sugar in their own family backgrounds.

I remember squatting in the road drawing a picture in the dust, a picture which Joey gleefully erased with one sweep of his dirt
Len [333]

Answer:

I don't know if this question is supposed to have options, but, if not, I would say that the word that describes the mood of the excerpt is sensitive.

Explanation:

The character in these lines is remembering situations from the past that connect him/her with nature, in the case of the picture in the dust and in the second scenario when trying to fish for minnows. The speaker also remembers that Joey is laughing in both situation. It is easy to see for the reader that the speaker feels sensitive with the things he or she remember having around him/her in that time he/she describes.
