Answer:
Old Man Warner
Characters Old Man Warner
Old Man Warner, the oldest man in town, has participated in seventy-seven lotteries and is a staunch advocate for keeping things exactly the way they are. He dismisses the towns and young people who have stopped having lotteries as “crazy fools,” and he is threatened by the idea of change. He believes, illogically, that the people who want to stop holding lotteries will soon want to live in caves, as though only the lottery keeps society stable. He also holds fast to what seems to be an old wives’ tale—“Lottery in June, corn be heavy soon”—and fears that if the lottery stops, the villagers will be forced to eat “chickweed and acorns.” Again, this idea suggests that stopping the lottery will lead to a return to a much earlier era, when people hunted and gathered for their food. These illogical, irrational fears reveal that Old Man Warner harbors a strong belief in superstition. He easily accepts the way things are because this is how they’ve always been, and he believes any change to the status quo will lead to disaster. This way of thinking shows how dangerous it is to follow tradition blindly, never questioning beliefs that are passed down from one generation to the next.

Answer:
D
Explanation:
The answer would be D because even though it seems like it is an overexcessive use of commas, it is correct in the grammar aspect and the rest of the answers don't sound right when you say it out loud.
Answer:
1. Symbiosis; relationship.
2. Parasitism; relationship; benefits; harmed.
3. Benefit.
4. Commensalism; benefits; neutral.
Explanation:
Ecology can be defined as a branch of biology that typically deals with the study of the relationship or interaction between organisms and their immediate environment. The four (4) main types of ecological relationship between living and non-living organisms include the following;
1. Symbiosis is a close, long-term relationship among two or more species that live and interact together.
2. Parasitism is a special type of symbiotic relationship in which one organism feeds on and lives in or on another organism. This is the parasite that benefits and the host organism is harmed.
3. Mutualism is a relationship in which both members benefit.
4. Commensalism is a relationship in which one member benefits, but the other organism neither benefits nor is harmed. The effect is neutral.
