In 1948, Shirley Jackson wrote a popular story called “The Lottery.” In the story, a town holds a drawing every spring that everyone must enter. No one knows where the tradition came from. When it is time for the lottery, the town has a large celebration. Then, everyone must draw a slip of paper. The person who draws a slip of paper with a black dot must be sacrificed.
Which details in this contemporary story were likely influenced by the story of Theseus and the Minotaur? Check all that apply.
holding a yearly drawing
having a large celebration
not knowing where a tradition came from
using the color black to indicate the unlucky winner
sacrificing people from the town every year
Answer:
- Holding a yearly drawing
- Using the color black to indicate the unlucky winner
- Sacrificing people from the town every year
Explanation:
Since the brief summary of "The Lottery" is already given, let's remind ourselves of the story of Theseus and the Minotaur.
King of Crete has set an ultimatum to the Athenian king; he will either destroy the Athens or 7 men and 7 women will be sacrificed each year to the Minotaur. So, like in Shirley Jackson's story, there was an annual drawing, and the unlucky winners who drew black balls were taken to Crete as a human sacrifice. When Theseus grew strong enough, he volunteered to go as one of seven men planning on killing the Minotaur.
So, the origin of a tradition is known and there was no celebration in this Greek mythology story, which makes other three options correct.

Use the order of operations to simplify (-1/4) +2(9.75-0.75).
Answer:
[tex]\frac{71}{4}=17.75[/tex]
Explanation:
Remove parentheses:
[tex]\quad \left(-a\right)=-a[/tex]
[tex]=-\frac{1}{4}+2\left(9.75-0.75\right)[/tex]
[tex]=-\frac{1}{4}+18[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{18\cdot \:4}{4}-\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{71}{4}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{71}{4}=17.75[/tex]
=17.75
(-1/4) + 2(9.75 - 0.75) simplifies to 71/4. The process of solving a math problem is simply known as simplifying an expression. An expression is simplified when it is written in the most straightforward way feasible.
Given,
(-1/4) +2(9.75-0.75)
Required to simplify the given equation =?
we have given the equation,
[tex]= (-1/4) +2(9.75-0.75)= (-1/4) + 2(9)=(-1/4) + 18=-1/4 + 18= -1 + 72/4= 71/4[/tex]
There are certain "solving" issues that are connected to "simplification" issues. Parentheses and even nested grouping symbols can be found in some equations, just like they can in some expressions. Whether we're working with equations (so we're also solving), or expressions (and only simplifying), the simplification procedure is the same in both cases.
Therefore, the simplified form of a given equation is 71/4.

Choose a source of conflict that you are aware of in American culture now and describe it. Would you consider it primarily an interpersonal conflict, a political conflict, or a social conflict? Does it have roots in the era of the Civil War, or is it a modern issue? Why do you think people are so passionate about the issue? What possibilities do you see for resolving the conflict, and how long might that take?
Answer:
A source of conflict that I am aware of in American culture now is Racism It is a social conflict it is a modern issue And to resolve the conflict i say we as a people should unite and treat each other equally how long might that take who knows i say it will take a while but I believe it can be done
Explanation:
UR welcome i had the saem question on my school work so ur welcome
Answer:
A source of conflict that I am aware of in American culture now is hate towards The LGBT community. It is a social conflict and it is a modern issue. It doesn't have anything to do with the Civil War, but, we as people should unite and treat each other equally, and not be judgmental about it. So what if two guys/girls are holding hands and hugging each other caringly, these people are just like you and me. No we don't have the same likes or lifestyle but.... We. Are. Human. How long might it take for people to stop judging something they don't like, or even care to befriend it? I don't know, nobody knows but, what I do know, is that it's going to end. One way or another. And when it does, thank the universe for the change of hearts in mankind. Peace!

Rewrite this sentence using more precise technical language.
Answer:
The researchers were true regarding the hour the algae bloom would start to transpire.
Explanation:
The given sentence is written in ordinary or plain language and conveys the meaning clearly. In order to rewrite it using technical language, the vocabulary needs to specific and specialized so that it communicates the complex information about the particular subject. Thus, the words like 'scientists,' 'right', 'about', 'time', 'take place' have been replaced with more precise and specific words like 'researchers,' 'true,' 'regarding,' 'hour,' 'transpire.'
"The biologists were precise on the amount of time the algae bloom would transpire. " This is what I wrote.

Journal Prompt: What is one thing that you will never give up, no matter what? Remember, your journal responses should be at least a paragraph in length, which is 4-6 sentences long! Will mark brainliest for the best answer!
Answer:
I suggest doing something that's personal. Really this could be anything of importance.
Explanation:
This is a journal prompt, and I can tell you are looking for ideas. This is absolutely fine. I think that it should be something for you, as it does have room for really anything. this is an example of what I would write in this situation:
"The one thing I could never give up is my faith. As a Christian, many people want me to give up my faith as it seems silly, unconventional, non-sound, or many other reasons that they can come up with. However, I want to hold onto this as it gives me hope in the future, as well as many other reasons people don’t understand. It gives me a purpose in life that nothing else can, and its amazing."
This is 4 sentences, and it shows something of importance to me. this can be applied to anything, spiritual, emotional, or physical. Write about your dog who makes you smile, the mother or father who showers you with love, or maybe even about the way your best friend always knows when to give you the best advice - or listen in silence when you need to vent. You could write about your favorite book or music, or really anything. As long as its meaningful to you.
You got this! don't give up!

Answer:
The statement that is the best interpretation of this excerpt is:
A. The narrator enjoys the peaceful surroundings of the mountains.
Explanation:
The speaker in this poem has quite a cheerful tone when talking of nature. He clearly enjoys being surrounded by mountains, trees, the sky, the moon... Even if life is hard, even if love is not eternal, nature has its own will, its own life, its own breath. Nature is kinder and dearer than love and hope, according to the speaker. The excerpt we are analyzing here is an invitation to enjoy nature, to let go of daily troubles, of disappointments and fears.
Answer: The answer is A. The narrator enjoys the peaceful surroundings of the mountains.
Explanation: He uses the words "mystical" to describe the surroundings of the mountains, people use the word "mystical" in awe and fascination.

Read the following poem carefully before you choose your answer. The Triple Fool I am two fools, I know, For loving, and for saying so In whining poetry; But where's that wise man, that would not be I, (5) If she would not deny? Then as th' earth's inward narrow crooked lanes Do purge sea water's fretful salt away, I thought, if I could draw my pains Through rhyme's vexation, I should them allay. (10) Grief brought to numbers cannot be so fierce, For he tames it, that fetters it in verse. But when I have done so, Some man, his art and voice to show, Doth set and sing my pain; (15) And, by delighting many, frees again Grief, which verse did restrain. To love and grief tribute of verse belongs, But not of such as pleases when 'tis read. Both are increasèd by such songs, (20) For both their triumphs so are published, And I, which was two fools, do so grow three. Who are a little wise, the best fools be.
