“The lottery” "There was a great deal of fussing to be done..." Why would this statement

English

Answer:

The correct answer is B)

Explanation:  

In the 7th paragraph, the writer makes the statement "There was a great deal of fussing to be done before Mr. Summers declared the lottery open."

Fussing here is ironic because in the second sentence of that paragraph, they were going to make up lists of people family heads, and family members, who were supposed to partake in the lottery.

Going by the rules of a lottery, names ought not to be made up. But to be collated as -s from the list of those who ought to partake in it. Going the normal route would have been the actually fussing. But they decided to take a shortcut.

Cheers

How does the author use the character of editha to voice his own opinions
agasfer [191]
The character of Editha is a foil, developed to portray <span>the fickleness of the arguments that support war. The author ironically reveals how Editha repeats the passages from newspapers and magazines supporting the need to go to war. But the author takes a step further to give us a view of Editha’s perception when she says, "But now it doesn't matter about the how or why. Since the war has come, all that is gone. There are no two sides any more. There is nothing now but our country." Finally, toward the end of the story, Mrs. Gearson sarcastically says, "No, you didn't expect him to get killed," a commentary by the author to show the ignorance of people who idealize war.</span>
