Answer 2

An exciting one on a beautiful summer day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Shirley Jackson's The Lottery tells the story of how a village's annual ritual of conducting a lottery to chose one person to be stoned to death is carried out. And for this particular event, all the villagers, including children, were expected to forego their work and be present for the event.

The given passage shows the setting of the event where the people were gathered in the square. "The morning of June 27th was clear", in the village where there were just about three hundred people. So, for them, it will be easy to get it done with, unlike other villages where the lottery "took two days". This reveals that the particular lottery event in this village will be an exciting one, with the day being a beautiful summer day.

Thus, the correct answer is the last/ fourth option.
