Shirley Jackson told: "the idea for "The Lottery" had come to me while I was pushing my daughter up the hill in her stroller—it was, as I say, a warm morning, and the hill was steep, and besides my daughter, the stroller held the day’s groceries—and perhaps the effort of that last 50 yards up the hill put an edge to the story.”

"The Lottery" is a short story written by Shirley Jackson in which members of a small community join together every year to follow a tradition according to which, randomly, the destiny of one of them is decided.

Adverbs are words that modify adjectives or verbs.
Many adverbs end in -ly, such as kindly, politely, softly, etc.
Yesterday can be either an adverb or a noun. In the way it's used here, it is an adverb.
Rachel is a name, so it is a noun, or proper noun to be precise.
worked is a verb, since it's an action. (to work)
slowly is an adverb, since it describes the verb, worked.
because is a conjunction.
she is a pronoun.
was is a verb.
so is an adverb, it describes the verb, was.
tired is an adjective.
So the answers to this question are Yesterday and so.
Hope this helps :)
