What is the most likely reason that the author describes where the box is kept throughout the year?
Read the passage from "The Lottery."
The night before the lottery, Mr. Summers and Mr.
Graves made up the slips of paper and put them into
the box, and it was then taken to the safe of Mr.
Summers' coal company and locked up until Mr.
Summers was ready to take it to the square next
morning. The rest of the year, the box was put away,
sometimes one place, sometimes another; it had spent
one year in Mr. Graves' barn and another year
underfoot in the post office, and sometimes it was set
on a shelf in the Martin grocery and left there.
O to create suspense about when Mr. Summers will
take the box to the town square
O to create suspense about where the box will be
placed each and every year
O to convey the idea that objects are meaningless and
can be placed anywhere
O to convey the idea that people follow society's
traditions without careful thought

Select the contred text in the passage which sentence in this excerpt from john galsworthy's narrative essay "gone" reflects his view that there is no afterlife? an old woman and mrs. herd's sister were in the sitting-room, they showed us to the crazy, narrow stairway. though we lived distant but four hundred yards of a crows flight, we had never seen mrs. herd before, for that is the way of things in this land of minding one's own business a slight dark girlish-looking woman, almost quite refined away, and with those eyes of the dying, where the spirit is coming through, as it only does when it knows that al is over except just the passing. she lay in a double bed with clean white sheets. a white-washed room, so low that the ceiling almost touched our heads, some flowers in a bow, the small lattice window open. though it was hot in there, it was better far than the rooms of most families in towns, living on a wage of twice as much, for here was no sign of defeat in decency or cleanliness. in her face, as in poor herd's, was that same strange minging of resigned despair and almost eager appeal, so terrible to disappoint. yet, trying not to disappoint it, one felt guilty of treachery: what was the good, the kindness in making this poor bird flutter still with hope against the bars, when fast prison had so surely closed in round her? but what else could we do? we could not give her those glib assurances that naive souls make so easily to others concerning their after state. and the night was so beautiful, so utterly glamourously beautiful, with its star-flowers, and its silence and its trees clothed in moonlight. all was tranquil as a dream of sleep. but it was long before our hearts wandering with poor herd, would let us remember that she had slipped away into so beautiful a dream
