6 0

Answer and Explanation:

"The Lottery" is a short story by author Shirley Jackson that caused controversy back when it was published. In a small rural town, a lottery is carried out every year. It turns out that, in the end of it, the person whose name is picked is killed by the other villagers, stoned to death.

At a certain point in the story, someone comments that other towns have given up on carrying out the lottery. <u>Upon hearing that, Old Man Warner criticizes such places. The reason why the author chose to have Old Man Warner make such a comment is because he is the symbol of attachment to traditions and reluctance to progress. Old Man Warner is proud of being old, because that means he has escaped death for so many years. He also seems to have a superstitious belief that the lottery is necessary. It is almost like a human sacrifice so that the crops will grow properly. Old Man Warner represents the blind faith that so many people have in real life, the kind of faith that leads to prejudice and violence.</u>

(YOU WILL GET BRAINIEST IF YOU ANSWER CORRECTLY!) This question is from the Odyssey! :)
m_a_m_a [10]

It is apparently D, because at this point travelling years on the ocean hasn't made Odysseus hasty enough to want to return to his wife and child, and so he is now risking the lives of him and his crew for no reason other than the high of a con. Odysseus is kind of a dork, not gonna lie. His wife has to put up with a ton of manipulative people people vying for her hand in marriage and trying to kill her son, and he takes a leisurely route across the ocean meeting beautiful women and  fighting gods.
