Which statement below is a valid theme of “The Lottery”?

Blindly following traditions of the past can be dangerous.

All lotteries should be outlawed.

Small towns are full of evil people.

Which excerpt below best supports the thought blindly following traditions of the past can be dangerous.

Although the villagers had forgotten the ritual and lost the original black box, they still remembered to use stones. The pile of stones the boys had made earlier was ready…

The lottery was conducted—as were the square dances, the teen club, the Halloween program—by Mr. Summers, who had time and energy to devote to civic activities.

There was a great deal of fussing to be done before Mr. Summers declared the lottery open. There were the lists to make up—of heads of families, heads of households in each family, members of each household in each family.

Although Mr. Summers and everyone else in the village knew the answer perfectly well, it was the business of the official of the lottery to ask such questions formally.

Why is the title of the story, “The Lottery,” ironic?

Because the reader expects that the winner will receive a prize.

Because the story doesn’t involve a lottery at all.

Because the reader can easily predict what is going to happen in the story.

Because all lotteries have different rules, and this one is no exception.

Which excerpt from the story below includes imagery (sensory details)?

The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green.

The original paraphernalia for the lottery had been lost long ago, and the black box now resting on the stool had been put into use even before Old Man Warner, the oldest man in town, was born.

Chips of wood, Mr. Summers had argued, had been all very well when the village was tiny, but now that the population was more than three hundred and likely to keep growing, it was necessary to use something that would fit more easily into the black box.

Mr. Summers spoke frequently to the villagers ab out making a new box, but no one liked to upset even as much tradition as was represented by the black box.

Which of the following events is most important to the development of the plot?

Bill Hutchinson drew the paper with the black spot on it.

Tessie Hutchinson was late for the lottery gathering.

Bobby Martin was scolded by his father.

Harry helped little Dave draw his slip of paper.

Which event below occurs during the story’s climax?

Bill Hutchinson reveals Tessie’s black-spotted paper to the crowd.

The crowd is relieved when little Dave’s paper is blank.

Boys run around the square, gathering stones.

Mr. Summers says that they must finish quickly.

Which statement below about allegory is false?

Shirley Jackson did not intend for ”The Lottery” to be an allegory.

An allegory is often political, historical, religious, social, or philosophical.

An allegory is has two levels of meaning.

An allegory is a story that has a plot, setting, and characters.

Read the excerpt below and then answer the question that follows. He [Mr. Summers] made a note on the list he was holding. Then he asked, “Watson boy drawing this year?” A tall boy in the crowd raised his hand. “Here,” he said. “I’m drawing for my mother and me.” He blinked his eyes nervously and ducked his head as several voices in the crowd said things like “Good fellow” and “Glad to see your mother’s got a man to do it.” What does the author want you to infer about the Watson boy’s father?

He was killed in a previous lottery.

He was older than most of the other villagers.
