What Old Man Warner's character represents in "The Lottery" is B. people's fear of change and the detail from the text that best supports this is (C.) "THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN A LOTTERY," he added petulantly. "Bad enough to see young Joe Summers up there joking with everybody" (Paragraph 32).

In the short story, Old Man Warner is taking part in the lottery for the seventy-seventh time and he is fully convinced that the perpetuation of the tradition (the lottery) is directly linked to the good harvest of the crops. He also believes that changes in societies only bring about dangers. Furthermore, Warner thinks that giving up the lottery would result in general starvation in the town. For the old man, it is highly important to keep the tradition since it has always been there. This is made clearer in the quotation from paragraph 32. In other words, Warner blindly accepts a tradition, ignoring how violent it actually is, just because he is scared of changes. However, the other inhabitants also fear changes, in that way, Old Man Warner represents everyone in the town.

first aid for seizures is aimed at keeping the person safe until the seizure stops on its own. stay calm, loosen anything around the person's neck, do not restrain them or put anything in their mouth, clear the area around them, and stay with them after the seizure stops.
