Which sentence from "The Lottery" uses descriptive language to create mood? (Points : 5) There was a great deal of fussing to be done before Mr. Summers declared the lottery open. "Next thing you know, they'll be wanting to go back to living in caves, nobody work any more, live that way for a while." Although the villagers had forgotten the ritual and lost the original black box, they still remembered to use stones. By now, all through the crowd there were men holding the small folded papers in their large hands, turning them over and over nervously.
