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".

Read the excerpt from "Mother Tongue."
Valentin [98]

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Which information from the excerpt best supports the inference that achievement tests ignore imagination as an element of language ability?

A. Tan’s mother would not be able to answer a question like the one described in the excerpt.

B. Tan’s mother could think of several ways to answer a question like the one described in the excerpt.

C. Tan’s mother did not allow her to take tests with questions like the one described in the excerpt.

D. Tan’s mother was disappointed that Tan did poorly on tests with questions like the one described in the excerpt.

Answer:

The best option is letter B. Tan’s mother could think of several ways to answer a question like the one described in the excerpt.

Explanation:

In the essay "Mother Tongue", author Amy Tan discusses the many Englishes that shaped her into becoming who she is. Daughter of immigrant Chinese parents, Tan focuses on arguing how her mother's broken English was perceived not only by herself, but also by others. <u>When Tan mentions the English tests she used to take at school, she shows readers how poorly those tests actually worked in terms of assessing one's ability. Her way to perceive language was different than what was expected from her. Even her mother, whose English was "broken", could see that those fill-in-the-blanks types of activities were trying to limit an idea that actually had almost endless possibilities. There were several ways to fill in those blanks, Tan and her mother both thought, but the school always seemed to expect the most bland, shallow ideas.</u>
