What is the author's purpose for using a black spot on the paper?
Read the passage from "The Lottery."

Answer:
O to enhance the mystery of the lottery
Explanation:

This is because the reader does not understand what this black spot represents, but understands that it is not a good and fun thing. In this way the reader begins to doubt the nature of the lottery and what it refers to. In this case, the author manages to show through the black spot on the paper, the mystery that the lottery carries, thus imposing a suspense in the plot.
