Read the excerpt from "The Lottery."
The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green. The people of the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and the bank, around ten o'clock; in some towns there were so many people that the lottery took two days and had to be started on June 26th, but in this village, where there were only about three hundred people, the whole lottery took only about two hours, so it could begin at ten o'clock in the morning and still be through in time to allow the villagers to get home for noon dinner.
Based on the setting details in this excerpt, the reader is led to believe that
the square in the village is a historical landmark that is guarded daily.
the villagers are hungry and in a hurry to get home for their lunch.
the June 27th date is an important tradition that occurs in summer.
the lottery is shorter now that population of the village has decreased.
the answer is June 27 date is important tradition that occurs in summer
