Read the excerpt from "The Lottery."

Bobby Martin had already stuffed his pockets full of stones, and the other boys soon followed his example, selecting the smoothest and roundest stones; Bobby and Harry Jones and Dickie Delacroix – the villagers pronounced this name "Dellacroy" – eventually made a great pile of stones in one corner of the square and guarded it against the raids of the other boys.

What important information does this setting in this excerpt reveal?

The children are playing in an effort to forget the horror that is about to occur.
The children have been raised to view the lottery as a normal part of village life.
The children are behaving just as any boys would in a similar situation.
The children choose only the best stones for what is about to take place.

Answer:

The last one

Explanation:

It makes the most sense because you don't know what horror is about to happen or maybe it isn't horror at all. The second don't make no sense because there's too little info. The third one doesn't make sense because you don't know the situation.

Answer 2

The most logical explanation is that you have no idea what terror is about to strike—or perhaps there won't even be any.

Due to insufficient information, the second doesn't make any sense.

Option D is correct: The children choose only the best stones for what is about to take place.
