Answer: B) sensory details.

Explanation: Sensory details include sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste. Writers employ the five senses to engage a reader's interest. In the given excerpt from "The Lottery" we can see an example of the use of sensory details in phrases like "selecting the smoothest and roundest stones" which convey the senses of touch (smoothest) and sight (roundest). So the correct answer is option B.

Based on the myths, the values of both the Haida and the Māori creation myth are:

family

nature

love

The Maori creation myth tells the story how humans were born and how nature helped in their birth by sacrificing themselves. According to this creation myth, the earth and heaven were once joined as Ranhinui.   Papatuanuku was the sky father and the mother Ranhinui was the Earth and they had many children. The children lived in the darkness and wanted to live in the light. The children separated the parents in order to live in the light. The parents continue to grieve for each other until the present day.

The Haida creation myth is about a trickster named Raven who stole the sun, the moon and the stars in order to bring light to his created world. He created animals, fish, trees, men, and all the creatures but they lived in darkness because of which he stole light.

Define author's tone. Define mood. Can y’all help me
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Mood and tone are two literary elements that help create the main idea of a story. The mood is the atmosphere of the story, and the tone is the author's attitude towards the topic. We can identify both by looking at the setting, characters, details, and word choices.
