The correct answer is "A".

It is previously known by the reader that all the villagers in town are gathering together for the traditional lottery which is celebrated every June 27. However, due to the small population in the town (only 300 people), there is an expectation for Tessie's arrival at the event, due to the fact that every resident is expected to participate. This is known when the person responsible for leading the event asks if there is anyone missing and she gets the immediate response that an individual named Dunbar is not there.

A story which ends with the statement:better late than never

FrozenT [24]

The above question wants to assess your writing ability and your imagination, for that reason I can't answer it for you, but I'll show you how to answer it.

First, you need to keep in mind that your story must end with the sentence "better late than never." This means that you should think of a story where something very important and expected by the characters took a while to happen, but it happened after a long wait.

After that, you should write your story in three parts, according to the following steps:

Start: Introduce the characters and setting where the story takes place.

Middle: Present the character's goals and desires and develop interactions between that character and others, as well as interactions with the setting. It's important that in this part of the story, you show what element this character is hoping to happen.

Final: Show how agonizing this wait is for the character, but how rewarding it is on the day that element finally happens. Show how happy and relieved the character feels.
