Answer:

The beginning of “The Lottery” doesn’t seem very odd. The people seem relatively normal, the adults are working, yet there is a sense of uneasiness. It soon becomes clear that the “lottery” that keeps getting mentioned is what causes this sense of unease. Yet the reader is still unaware of what part of this lottery is making them uncomfortable, and it starts to become clear that winning the lottery is not a good thing. Slowly the reader puts together various pieces of the story, and it becomes clear what will happen: the winner of the lottery is stoned to death, supposedly to ensure a good harvest. The story becomes darker and darker as one realizes that no one really even knows the origin of the ritual and why it cannot be done away with. It becomes clear that “The Lottery” is a prime example of a dystopia, because propaganda is used to control the citizens, which leads to the freedom of information being heavily restricted. This happens to the point where citizens from different towns rarely speak with one another. One must question why this information is restricted (or rather, has it simply been forgotten?) how it came to be this way, and why the citizens don’t work to change it.

Alexandra [31]

Paragraph development progresses with an expression of the rationale or the explanation that the writer gives for how the reader should interpret the information presented in the idea statement or topic sentence of the paragraph. Hence, the sentence that show the relationship is given below.

A

Paragraph 3 presents evidence that addresses questions raised in paragraph 2.

<h3>Method of Paragraph development</h3>

The methods of developing a paragraph are:

  • Facts and statistics,
  • illustration,
  • process,
  • comparison and contrast,
  • cause and effect,
  • classification and analysis,
  • definition, and
  • analogy.

The writer employs a method that he or she feels will best project the main point of the paragraph. In addition, since the first paragraph is the introductory paragraph, consequently, second paragraph will raise certain questions, paragraph 3 will be a graduating paragraph, i.e.,an extension to the second paragraph.

Therefore, the correct answer in term of the relationship between the paragraph 2 and 3 will be option A.
