Answer:

The person becomes the scapegoat and will be stoned to death.

Explanation:

"The Lottery" was a short story written by Shirley Johnson in which she pictures a certain fictional town in contemporary America where there is an annual ritual through which bad people are removed from the town through lottery. The person selected through lottery is stoned to death.

It is an annual ritual which they believe guarantees good harvest. It was a tradition they followed blindly and nobody ever questions the rational or the person becomes "The Lottery".

9. True. Standing behind a podium builds more authority than walking about when you speak is True because it shows an expression of power & stability; the podium is a sign that you are 'stable' in money-wise & that no one can mess with you.

10. False. If you speak eloquently (silver-tongued) then you have no problems saying something that is meaningful of great importance.

Which two sets of lines in this excerpt from John Milton's Paradise Lost show that Satan acknowledges the goodness of God, despi
kozerog [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is "<em>In them Divine resemblance, and such grace The hand that formd them on their shape hath pourd. Ah gentle pair, yee little think how night Your change approaches, when all these delights Will vanish and deliver ye to woe"</em>

Explanation:

In these lines, Satan indicates that Adam and Eve have divine resemblance, similar to God and his grace. By doing this, Satan is acknowledging that both Adam and Eve, and God have goodness. Since he created them and formed them on his shape, he poured grace into them. Thus, it is inferred that God gave them these traits and is good.
