<u>Answer:</u> a) The reader must infer that Mr. Watson is last year's victim since his son, Jack, is designated as head of household.

The story is "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson.

The passage the question is referring to is the following:

<em> "Right." Sr. Summers said. He made a note on the list he was holding. Then he asked, "Watson boy drawing this year?" </em>

<em>A tall boy in the crowd raised his hand. "Here," he said. "I'm drawing for my mother and me." He blinked his eyes nervously and ducked his head as several voices in the crowd said things like "Good fellow, Jack." and "Glad to see your mother's got a man to do it."</em>

We have previously learned that if a household does not have a "father" to draw for the family, the responsibility passes to the oldest son. In this case, Jack is drawing for him and his mother, which implies that there is no "father" to do it. Therefore, we can assume that his father, Mr. Watson, has been killed in the lottery of previous years,

I just made this up, I'm not sure if it's what you meant, but ....

Thomas had warned me that winter ... he called out to me from the side of the frozen lake. "You're skating on thin ice!" I was too prideful to listen. I had been trying to win a bet. To make a long story short, I ended up six feet below the surface, as dead as a door nail.
Now, three months later, I sadly watch over my friend as he sets his own clothes on fire, with tears streaming down his face. I hear a child's voice some distance away saying, "Mommy says that where there's smoke there's fire!" 
'They're too late ... Thomas is already going to be with me ... just a few more seconds,' I thought, smiling sadly. Changing someone's fate is easier said than done. He uttered a strangled cry, then fell to the ground, engulfed in flames.

Why are tone and mood a like?
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:If tone is the author's attitude toward a subject, then mood is how we are made to feel as readers, or the emotion evoked by the author. ... Both tone and mood are implied by the author's use of words, so it's easy to see how they come to be used interchangeably.
