Answer:
A). It takes place annually, in late June.
Explanation:
The statement that is accurate regarding the short story 'The Lottery' authored by Shirley Jackson is that the rite known as 'lottery' took place annually in the town towards the end of June. In the story, the lottery event took place on the 27th of June(late June) when the townsfolk gathered together for accomplishing the tradition. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer and the others are incorrect because the townspeople were excited about the tradition instead of putting an end to it. The children gathered stones before the event which signifies that they were extremely willing to participate and neither of the people was willing to change except Tessie Hutchinson who was eventually stoned to death as she questioned the tradition and used reason.
Your answer would be A. Lily stood on the stage in stunned disbelief as applause filled the auditorium. Her mother’s sparkling eyes in the first row beamed up at her with pride. Lily knew then that she had aced the audition, and she let her shoulders slump a bit in relief. Her mother winked at her and laughed when Lily winked back.
