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

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

This letter is to ________ (add someone special to you)

I can't explain how grateful I am for you coming into my life with enough words. You have had such a profound influence on my life. Without you, I will not be the person I am today, and I am certain that you would continue to motivate me to become a better version of myself.

Since I know you don't believe in stuff happening for a reason, I'm willing to believe that you were brought into my life for a reason for both of us.

You've shown me that I have a story to tell and that it counts. You've also shown me that my story is valuable to others. I will unlock doors that would otherwise be locked by being genuine and vulnerable. It wasn't until I began honing my skills that I realized what I was missing. I just truly wanted to thank you for being a great ____ {friend} {mom} {sister} {dad} {anyone} -Love _____ { your name}

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

I think the most helpful way to create a more formal and professional tone is to eliminate the informal language.

Explanation:

The paragraph has phrases  like "<em>off the hook</em>", or homeless "<em>peeps</em>" that are not accurate for a formal request. If those words or phrases are changed for more formal ones, the whole request will sound more serious and important.

IrinaVladis [17]

As in so many mystery novels, Roger Ackroyd is set in a small, isolated community where everybody knows everybody else. The isolated, close-knit setting 1) suggests that the criminal is someone who everybody knows, and 2) creates a paranoid, suspenseful mood, since the criminal is hiding a big secret from their neighbors. It’s also telling that the owners of the two most “important houses” in town are also the two main victims of the novel.
