Answer:

It sets the stoning of Tessie in motion.

Explanation:

Shirley Jackson's short story "The Lottery" is set in a small village who have the annual tradition of conducting a lottery to chose one person from the people to be stoned to death. No one knows why it was done and the significance of it, but everyone still follows the old barbaric tradition nonetheless.

The given passage/ excerpt shows the moment Tessie selected the 'cursed paper' indicating her as the victim. She hadn't revealed the dotted paper that is the mark of the 'victim' but with everyone left out, she is the only probable person to have picked the paper. The dialogue of Mr. Summers asking Bill to show Tessie's paper is the start of the whole plot of the stoning. It sets the stoning action in motion, with the victim chosen, only the main act of the stoning was left.

Pollution prevention reduces both financial costs (waste management and cleanup) and environmental costs (health problems and environmental damage). Pollution prevention protects the environment by conserving and protecting natural resources while strengthening economic growth through more efficient production in industry and less need for households, businesses and communities to handle waste.

Pollution prevention is a major global concern because of its harmful effects on people's health and the environment. Because we are all inhabitants on Earth, everyone is a stakeholder, and every person has something to contribute to advance effective pollution prevention and awareness. Environmental protection is a natural extension of caring for ourselves, loving our children, and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
