The lottery was conducted – as were the square dances, the teen-age club, the Halloween program – by Mr. Summers, who had time a

nd energy to devote to civic activities. He was a round-faced, jovial man and he ran the coal business, and people were sorry for him, because he had no children and his wife was a scold.
—“The Lottery,”
Shirley Jackson

What is ironic about the description of who holds the events?

A.It is ironic that Mr. Summers is such a happy man, because he plans on deciding which member of the community has to die.
B.It is ironic that Mr. Summers puts on all the fun events. The reader would expect the lottery to also be a fun event, when really it is a horrific event.
C.It is ironic that Mr. Summers has no children, because he is so good at organizing events.

Which question does the adverb clause answer?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
Short answer: You are answering why?

Why doesn't she want to go out? She doesn't want to go out because she's in a very bad mood. She knows that she won't be good company.

Remark
The sentence after the ; (semicolon) does not begin with any kind of connective word. If you put a noun in place of she, you would see that the last part after the semicolon is a complete sentence.

What theme does the speaker in "Mending Wall" explore? Review the poem before you respond—you might find a detail or two to use
inn [45]

Answer:

The theme is the boundaries that separate us, and whether they are needed or not.

Explanation:

The premise of this poem is a neighbor and the speaker repairing the wall that splits their land, and the speaker is unsure as to why the wall serves any purpose. He argues that there are no cows to keep inside and nothing to keep outside- all the beautiful trees are in their land.

This has a deeper meaning, which is the idea that we sometimes aren't aware of what we are "walling in" or "walling out" in terms of social and mental boundaries.

Hope this helps! If so, I'd love Brainliest!
