Answer:
Hi!
The answer is option A. I went on picking up the mail every morning, pushing my daughter up and down the hill in her stroller, anticipating pleasurably the check from The New Yorker, and shopping for groceries.
Explanation:
Option A is the correct answer because the tone of the sentence best matches the tone of Shirley Jackson's writting, The Lottery. The tone of the lottery is light, fun, and peaceful, and option A shows a very similar tone by adding details of fun and peacefulness such as "pushing my daughter up and down the hill" and "anticipating pleasurably the check from the New Yorker".
The passage which best shows how Shirley Jackson's specific word choices contribute to the story's tone is option A.
This reflects a writer's attitude towards a subject matter in a literary work.
Hence, we can see that the tone of the lottery is light and peaceful and option A clearly shows the same tone as Shirley Jackson's, as the excerpt says "anticipating pleasurably the check from The New Yorker".
