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

and the grass was richly green. The people of the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and the bank, around ten o’clock; in some towns there were so many people that the lottery took two days and had to be started on June 26th. . .

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.

Is “unless it was absolutely necessary” an adverb clause?
Artemon [7]

No it is not. It is an adverb phrase since it lacks a subordinating conjunction.

Adverb clauses must be preceded or started by a subordinating conjunction such as after, if, because or although. For a sentence to qualify as an adverb clause it must include in its body a subject and a verb.

As a general rule you can use the following formula:

An adverb clause equals a subordinate conjunction plus a subject plus a verb, and it should be answering how? when? where? or why?
