do you feel that the lottery is merely an excuse for collective murder? do you believe it is or can be morally justified? ultimately, is a sufficient justification for such actions? considers cultures that are different from ours that perform rituals foreign to our own in your answer

The author of "The Lottery" is Shirley Jackson. In 1948, The New Yorker published it for the first time.

Jackson, like many other individuals, was extremely upset by the information that came to light after World War II when soldiers liberated the concentration camps.

No, just because everyone in the town agrees to murder someone collectively does not make it morally acceptable. Without being put on trial, they continue to kill others.

Although it is obvious that Tessie has killed people in their presence in the past, this was not the reason for her death.

Therefore, The author of "The Lottery" is Shirley Jackson. In 1948, The New Yorker published it for the first time.

Read the excerpt from Hidden Figures.

As the work intensified, something that had been hibernating in her mind awakened, and once roused it would not go away. She considered the issue and checked its logic, just as she did with her analytical work. At first she asked it only of herself, but eventually she came to the engineers with the question.

"Why can’t I go to the editorial meetings?" she asked the engineers. A postgame recap of the analysis wasn’t nearly as thrilling as being there for the main event. How could she not want to be a part of the discussion? They were her numbers, after all.

"Girls don't go to the meetings," Katherine’s male colleagues told her.

Which statements best summarize the excerpt?

Katherine Goble became more dedicated to her job as the work intensified. She asked to go to the editorial meetings so she could better understand what happened in them, but she was told that girls were not allowed to attend the meetings.

Katherine Goble became more determined to ask for a larger role as the scope of the work grew. Unsatisfied with summaries of the analysis that took place in the meetings, she asked why she could not go to the editorial meetings and was told that girls could not attend.

Katherine Goble became upset that she was not allowed to attend editorial meetings as her work became more involved. When she asked why she could not attend the meetings, she was given an unfair answer that upset her.

Katherine Goble confronted an issue that had been hibernating in her mind and that would not go away. She approached the situation logically, as she did with all of her work. When she asked why she could not attend the meetings, she was told that girls could not go.

Read the excerpt below from Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton and answer the question that follows.

They finished supper, and while Mattie cleared the table Ethan went to look at the cows and then took a last turn about the house. The earth lay dark under a muffled sky and the air was so still that now and then he heard a lump of snow come thumping down from a tree far off on the edge of the wood-lot.
When he returned to the kitchen Mattie had pushed up his chair to the stove and seated herself near the lamp with a bit of sewing. The scene was just as he had dreamed of it that morning. He sat down, drew his pipe from his pocket and stretched his feet to the glow. His hard day’s work in the keen air made him feel at once lazy and light of mood, and he had a confused sense of being in another world, where all was warmth and harmony and time could bring no change. The only drawback to his complete well-being was the fact that he could not see Mattie from where he sat; but he was too indolent to move and after a moment he said: “Come over here and sit by the stove.”
Zeena’s empty rocking-chair stood facing him. Mattie rose obediently, and seated herself in it. As her young brown head detached itself against the patch-work cushion that habitually framed his wife’s gaunt countenance, Ethan had a momentary shock. It was almost as if the other face, the face of the superseded woman, had obliterated that of the intruder. After a moment Mattie seemed to be affected by the same sense of constraint. She changed her position, leaning forward to bend her head above her work, so that he saw only the foreshortened tip of her nose and the streak of red in her hair; then she slipped to her feet, saying “I can’t see to sew,” and went back to her chair by the lamp. Ethan made a pretext of getting up to replenish the stove, and when he returned to his seat he pushed it sideways that he might have a view of her profile and of the lamplight falling on her hands. The cat, who had been a puzzled observer of these unusual movements, jumped up into Zeena’s chair, rolled itself into a ball, and lay watching them with narrowed eyes.

The line “Mattie had pushed up his chair to the stove and seated herself near the lamp with a bit of sewing. The scene was just as he had dreamed” uses which rhetorical device?
A.
alliteration
B.
syntax
C.
dramatic irony
D.
selection of detail
E.

Read the following excerpts from two speeches given by Franklin D.
Roosevelt at the onset of America's entrance into World War II in 1941. The
first one was given to Congress and the second one was a radio address to
the nation:
1. As Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy, I have
directed that all measures be taken for our defense. But
always will our whole nation remember the character of
the onslaught against us.... - [T]he American people in
their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.
2. And in the difficult hours of this day – through dark days
that may be yet to come - we will know that the vast
majority of the members of the human race are on our
side. Many of them are fighting with us. All of them are
praying for us. But, in representing our cause, we represent
theirs as well - our hope and their hope for liberty under
God.
Which most accurately describes a major difference in the emphasis between
the two speeches?
