Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
What is the author's purpose for using a black spot on the paper?
Read the passage from "The Lottery."
Bill Hutchinson went over to his wife and forced the slip of paper out of her hand. It had a black spot on it, the black spot Mr. Summers had made the night before with the heavy pencil in the coal-company office. Bill Hutchinson held it up, and there was a stir in the crowd.
O to represent the darkness of death
to maintain the tradition of the lottery
O to enhance the mystery of the lottery
O to represent the horror of disobedience
Answer:
O to enhance the mystery of the lottery
Explanation:
The author presents the black spot on the paper as a way to convey a mysterious sensation to the reader. 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.

The infinitive, with or without the verb too, is the fundamental form in the typical description of English. Verbs are inflected (changed in form) to denote tense, aspect, mood, and voice in many languages.
As its subject or object, a verb may also agree with the identity, gender, or number of some of its arguments. There are three different verb tenses: present, past, and future. The present tense shows that an action is being carried out; the past tense shows that it has already been completed.

I stood in silence where I was, for I did not know what to do. Of bell or knocker
there was no sign. Through these frowning walls and dark window openings it
was not likely that my voice could penetrate. The time I waited seemed
endless, and I felt doubts and fears crowding upon me. What sort of place had
I come to, and among what kind of people? What sort of grim adventure was it
on which I had embarked? Was this a customary incident in the life of a
solicitor's clerk sent out to explain the purchase of a London estate to a
foreigner?
In this paragraph, how does the writer use language and structure to create a

Answer:
The author used a descriptive structure, composed of dark and frightening words.

The author used a descriptive structure, where he can put words of a dark and frightening tone to describe the scenario and the feelings of the narrator in relation to the situation he was experiencing. Like the narrator, the reader does not understand what is happening, nor does he even have a perspective on what will happen, but he maintains a feeling of unpredictability and that something can arise at any time, that is, a sense of suspense.

7. When comparing and contrasting similar myths from different cultures you might want to look at:
the setting and mood
the conflicts and plot
the hero and villain in both
all of the above
Answer:
all of the above
Explanation:
All the elements that make up a myth, present cultural concepts of the people who created it. In this way, we can have very important cultural revelations to understand a civilization. When we compare two myths of different peoples, it is impossible that we do not compare the culture and beliefs that these people presented through their stories. For this reason, you must look at all the elements of the myth, before drawing conclusions. In that case we must look at the scenario and the climate, the conflicts, the plot, the heroes and the villains.
