Read the excerpt from "The Lottery."

People began to look around to see the Hutchinsons. Bill Hutchinson was standing quiet, staring down at the paper in his hand. Suddenly. Tessie Hutchinson shouted to Mr. Summers. "You didn't give him time enough to take any paper he wanted. I saw you. It wasn't fair!"

"Be a good sport, Tessie." Mrs. Delacroix called, and Mrs. Graves said, "All of us took the same chance."

"Shut , Tessie," Bill Hutchinson said.

Which behavior in the excerpt best indicates that there is a conflict between the society and an individual?

Characters arguing with Tessie
