Answer:

One way the author uses irony to convey his message is By having the "winner" of the Lottery of Fairness and Benevolence punished, he shows that society is dysfunctional.

Explanation:

The complete idea of this excerpt about having a lottery with the topic of crime and punishment is a pure irony element, there are so many points of irony such as the name of the lottery "Lottery of Fairness and Benevolence" while perhaps a person who is not guilty will pay for what others have done, making the system completely dysfunctional. Then the fact that it does not matter how old the person to be punished will be, and the necessity of having soldiers around.

kherson [118]

Hello, I could probably answer it more surely if the question was provided in its original format. But for how it was presented, I believe the answer would be C. A callout.

A callout (or call-out) in publishing is a short excerpt within a bigger text, somehow highlighted to call the reader's attention out to that part, specially. It can be a short string of text with its words connected by lines, dots, arrows, or similar, a sentence in bold separated from the text, or written in a different format, usually in a larger font. - This one is very common in magazines and newspapers. (and I believe this is the type that was presented on this excerpt original format).
