Answer:
The beginning of “The Lottery” doesn’t seem very odd. The people seem relatively normal, the adults are working, yet there is a sense of uneasiness. It soon becomes clear that the “lottery” that keeps getting mentioned is what causes this sense of unease. Yet the reader is still unaware of what part of this lottery is making them uncomfortable, and it starts to become clear that winning the lottery is not a good thing. Slowly the reader puts together various pieces of the story, and it becomes clear what will happen: the winner of the lottery is stoned to death, supposedly to ensure a good harvest. The story becomes darker and darker as one realizes that no one really even knows the origin of the ritual and why it cannot be done away with. It becomes clear that “The Lottery” is a prime example of a dystopia, because propaganda is used to control the citizens, which leads to the freedom of information being heavily restricted. This happens to the point where citizens from different towns rarely speak with one another. One must question why this information is restricted (or rather, has it simply been forgotten?) how it came to be this way, and why the citizens don’t work to change it.

Tennis, one of the oldest of the modern sports, goes back as far as the 1500s, though the true modern game of "lawn tennis" goes back to the 1870s. The game primarily grew out of England, including the first Wimbledon Championships in 1877. The International Lawn Tennis Federation, now known simply as the International Tennis Federation, the sport's governing body, was founded in 1913, composed of 13 national tennis associations.
Answer:
b) Metaphor
Explanation:
Using one object to symbolize another is known as a metaphor. One of my favorite lines from the poem "Queen of the Cats" describes how the cat's eyes would literally "spark with firelight fantasies" as she gazed into the flames.
Because the cat's imagination is represented by the firelight, this is a metaphor. Poets may employ metaphors to help their readers envision their work in a new manner. Firelight serves as a metaphor in this poem for the cat's eyes, which seem bright and full of imagination.
