Question

HELP I AM ON THE TEST!!!!Read the passage Soon the men began to gather surveying their own children speaking of planting and rain tractors and taxes they stood together away from the pile of stones in the corner and their jokes were quiet and they smiled rather then laughed

Which part creates tension?
The men survey thier own children
The men speak of planting and rain
The men stand together
The men joke quietly and rather smile than laugh

Answer 1

I think this is from The Lottery, which means that the answer is most likely b or d. But for a more deep and analytical answer say d because the lottery in general is a very unusual topic, but b also works. I honestly think B is the right answer .
