1.Which of the author's specific word choices in the following passage from "The Morning of June 28,1948 and "The Lottery" best impacts the author's tone?
On the morning of June 28, 1948, I walked down to the post office in our little Vermont town to pick up the mail. I was quite casual about it, as I recall- I opened the box, took out a couple of bills and a letter or two, talked to the postmaster for a few minutes, and left, never supposing that is was the last time for months that I would pick up the mail without an active feeling of panic.
A. In our Vermont town
B. Active feeling of panic
C. Talk to the postmaster for a few minutes
D. I opened the box
I think the answer is C but I'm not sure. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I disagree. The foreshadowing indicates something awful will happen.
Oh sorry,I didn't know. But I now think its B, because you said something awful will happen and the character said they felt an active feeling of panic. So am I correct? That its B
Yes, B.
