C. and we had to read the letter in class, it was very long lol
Answer:
C. Mrs. Adams is in conflict with society because she says some villages have stopped holding lotteries.
Explanation:
The given excerpt from Shirley Jackson's short story "The Lottery" shows the scene where all of the villagers were together to cast lots about who was to be chosen the <em>"winner"</em> of that year's lottery. The practice of this barbaric stoning to death of the <em>"winner"</em> seems like an annual ritual to them though they hardly ever remember why or how it came up to be.
In the excerpt, the conflict between a person and society is seen when someone seems to criticize what is happening in the society or talks against it. And when Mrs. Adams remarked that some villagers had stopped holding the lotteries, she is in direct conflict against the practice/society. This shows that she may have also deemed it unnecessary, but given the patriarchal society she's living in, her voice or opinion hardly matters to anyone. This is also quite evident when Old Mister Warner immediately retorted "<em>Pack of young fools</em>." The conflict with society collides with the need to preserve the practice, thus leading to Mrs. Adams' comment as something bad or working against the very nature of the traditional lottery.
Answer:
you can use a poem my friend made to help me also one i found online
Explanation:
I'm a full moon, full plate, full platter.
If you break my heart you stabbed and my blood will splatter.
Like the moon and the stars into your eyes I want to gaze.
Sometimes I used to think love was just a game people played...
thought it was fake, till you took my heart and dipped it in a lake.
Dripping with love, with my emotions please never play.
Will you be with me at night to give me light?
Like the moon, for me, please shine.- By My friend

Answer:
The missing options are:
A. The time that teenagers spend with digital media negatively impacts their ability to make sense of longer and more complex written material.
B. Teenagers are not developing the social skills they need to succeed in the world, as digital devices encourage them to spend time alone.
C. Fast-paced games and constantly updating social media makes it difficult for teenagers to be entertained by paper media, such as books and magazines.
D. The time that teenagers spend playing video games or on social media takes away from their commitment to their studies, negatively affecting their grades.
<u>The answer is </u><u>A</u>
Explanation:
The central idea is that teenagers spend less time reading for pleasure, which includes reading books, magazines, or newspapers and more time on the internet or social media. As a consequence, they do not develop critical thinking skills, do not reflect enough on topics, do not comprehend long texts, and find it hard to read them.
The text mentions other changes during the years but insists that the one with the more negative impact is the decrease in reading for pleasure.
