Question

question 3
why does the town hold the lottery?
○ old man warner makes them
○ the gods told them to
○ the mayor of the city forces them
○ the story never really says

Explanation:

In "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson, the story does not explicitly state a definitive reason for why the town holds the lottery. Old Man Warner is a traditionalist who supports the lottery but doesn't make them hold it. There's no indication the gods told them or the mayor forces them. The story leaves the exact reason ambiguous, focusing more on the ritual and its consequences.

Answer:

D. The story never really says
