Which best states a theme of "The Lottery"? A. Seemingly ordinary people can do horrible things. B. People are friendlier in small towns than in cities. C. Traditions help people remain civilized. D. Lotteries are needed to ensure a good harvest.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: A. Seemingly ordinary people can do horrible things.

The lottery itself is shown to be a bad thing, though the characters do not realize it, so it is a tradition that leads them to do something uncivilized and we as an audience know they do not actually ensure a good harvest. As well, it's clear that they are not friendly since they are killing their citizens. Thereofre B, C and D are incorrect.
However it does show us that ordinary people can do terrible things, because we don't know what the lottery is exactly. So all the citizens seem like totally ordinary people, thus the reveal at the end shows us what these "totally ordinary people" are capable of.

The following is a student draft. It may contain errors.One example of scientists working to make people's lives better is through their development of underwater greenhouses, a sustainable method for producing food. One underwater greenhouse, a set of pods anchored to the seafloor just outside the coast of Italy's Liguria region, is called Nemo's Garden.
Nemo's Garden was developed in 2012 by a company called the Ocean Reef Group. Through their experiments at Nemo's Garden, the group was able to learn that plants grow faster underwater. This discovery led the scientists to conclude that underwater greenhouses could be one way to ensure that countries experiencing drought or other conditions that impact farming would still have access to healthy food.
The pods found in Nemo's garden look similar to something one would see in a science fiction movie. The pods are various sizes and float at different depths, which keeps the plants safe. The dome at the top of each pod allows sunlight to enter, which keeps the plants warm despite the fact that the surrounding water is much cooler.
The crops in Nemo's Garden must remain hydrated to grow. Additionally, the plants must be maintained by a special group of divers and monitored twenty-four hours a day through the use of cameras and sensors.
While underwater greenhouses are not without problems—mainly due to leaking and decay—scientists are hopeful about their potential future uses.
