“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

Based on your knowledge of the meanings of the prefix dis-, what would you say is the meaning of the word disorder as it is used
Allushta [10]
<span> In the given context, the meaning of the word 'disorder' is : an abnormal condition. The main feature of the prefix dis- is that in makes word to function in an opposite meaning. Since the sentence is about the nervous system, the only logically and contextually correct option is the last one, as it represents negative meaning opposing to the needed condition. It is not a procedure, not an organ and there is no context clues that point out on it as illness. Also, disorder of nervous system is a stable biological term.
