Answer 1

C. The town is hopelessly backwards, cut off from other American traditions,

Step-by-step explanation:

Although you have not shown the excerpt to which the question refers, we can say, based on the short story "the Lottery", that the city where the story takes place is lagging behind American traditions. That's because history shows how other cities have already abandoned the lottery tradition and adopted more modern and less disadvantageous traditions, but the city where the story takes place insists on maintaining the lottery, making it a more shadowy and isolated city from the others .
