Answer and Explanation:
You can use some of the following ideas:
- Plot: The story is set in the future. Vampires are now being hunted down by a special army created solely to kill them. Humans have developed weapons capable of easily murdering vampires. One soldier falls into a trap but one vampire finds and rescues him before the others can kill him. The vampire takes care of him, the two end up falling in love, and now they are both hunted by not only the army but also by the other vampires.
- Characters:
- Chris, the soldier. Brave and a bit reckless. His mother was killed by a vampire when he was a child, which is why he now hunts them. Alana's kindness toward him deeply confuses him.
- Alana, the vampire, Chris's love interest. Used to be a human but was turned when the vampires tried to increase their numbers to fight against the humans. Kind-hearted, clever, courageous.
- Todd, Eric, Lena, and Sylvia, Chris's friends who join the mission to rescue him. Have to make the difficult decision of either letting their friend go or killing him. Some are more determined to do what is right for the human species, others are more likely to follow their hearts.
- Vania, leader of the group of vampires to which Alana belongs. Strong and fierce, tries to kill Alana once she finds out she has rescued a human.

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.
