Read these excerpts from "The Lottery" and answer the question. From paragraph 1:
... the whole lottery took less than two hours, so it could begin at ten o'clock in the morning and still be
through in time to allow villagers to get home for noon dinner.
From paragraph 10:
"Well, now." Mr. Summers said soberly, "guess we better get started, get this over with, so we can go back to
work.
The underlined phrases set an ironic tone since they imply that
this June the lottery will be held in a less formal setting
this year's drawing of names will be held in a less relaxed atmosphere
the current lottery will be less beneficial to everyone compared to last year's
the community's raffling of names will cause little interruption in its daily life

Check my grammar: dear mr. peter szulczewskisubject: loyal customer’s complainti visited wish.com last month and found a 2-terabyte hard drive for only $69.99, an alive aquarium piranha fish for $7.99 and an unlocked samsung galaxy s9 phone for $599.99. the price of such quality item got me to buy all three of them thinking it is exactly what the description and pictures shows it be.the items arrived today and i am for giving me an actual samsung galaxy s9 for a low price but i got lied about the two other items, i know it doesn't always happen but we are losing our trust everytime it happens. i got 500gb hard drive and a plastic sardine fish. i thought i saved money but a 500-gigabyte hard drive should only be worth $40 and i am ok that they gave me a plastic fish because it is only $8 but they gave me a sardine plastic fish which is a very uninteresting species of fish and i have no use for it. you again for the phone. i like buying in your website and admire the prices you give to your items. i will not ask for a refund for the fish and hard drive but you should tell your sellers to use a truthful descriptions of their products because if they keep deceiving us, you might lose a lot of loyal customers.sincerely,russell john javierloyal customer
