I hope this is what you’re looking for, if not I’m sorry. If you have any questions about this please let me know.
1. The main conflict of the story is to figure out who is the “winner” of the lottery
2. There is irony used in the story
3. How the tone changes throughout the story

6. How the author gives out escalating clues
I believe the answer you want is A.
