Answer: Anxiety from Uncertainty

Explanation:

The Narrator described the minutes spent waiting as agonizing due to the uncertainty surrounding the news. As the news bulletin progressed and they did not announced the school closing, the Narrator and their siblings grew more anxious because they were not certain that they wouldn't be going to school which was the news they were waiting to hear.

This feeling was agonizing not unlike how lottery ticket holders feels when watching the lottery.

In this activity, you'll read a sentence from the Old Testament's Ecclesiastes. You will also read George Orwell's revision of t
JulijaS [17]
Orwell's revision is a parody of highly technical, quasi-intellectualist style and tone of the academia. He uses robust vocabulary, devoid of imagery that is characteristic of Ecclesiastes' sentence, big words that mean almost nothing, and certainly don't convey anything beyond their abstract meaning. Whereas Ecclesiastes' sentence is written in 1st person and highly evocative, Orwell's is impersonal, faceless, and drab.
