Suspenseful and unpredictable, "The Lottery" is a short story by Shirley Jackson. (adj out of order)

Curiously and cautiously, Nancy takes a piece of paper from the black box. (adverbs out of order)

Upset and complaining, Mrs. Hutchinson doesn't want to draw a piece of paper from the box. (participial phrase)

Having been around for so long, Old Man Warren thinks the lottery has changed. (absolute phrase)

Mr. Summers, the holder of the black box calls all the names from A to Z. (appositive)
