5 0

Answer:

It highlights the fact that no one speaks out against the lottery even though it is murder

Explanation:

Mr. Harry Graves from the short story "The Lottery" is a symbolic and important man because of his rile in the book as people who "win" the Lottery are sent to him.

The Lottery is about a town who has a tradition of drawing from a pool of names and whoever is selected, is "sacrificed" to ensure that the town prospers. No one knows why this tradition is in place, but they do it anyways, even though they feel its wrong.

The importance of Mr Graves keeping silent through out the novel is that no one speaks out about the lottery, even though it is murder.

His interview is being televised throughout the world change into active voice
NeX [460]

Answer:

They are televising his interview throughout the world.

Explanation:

The subject here is televised,

The receiver of the action, that is ; what was televised (his interview) is the subject in this sentence. This makes it a passive voice.

To change to active, the subject, the receiver of the action (interview) acts on the verb (televised);

Hence, it could be expressed as :

They are televising his interview throughout the world.

This way the doer of the action = they (which could be the TV station)

The subject, 'his' acts on the verb televised.
