Tessie Hutchinson being identified as the villager with the black spot is the climax of "The Lottery"

Explanation:

"The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson is the short story of a little town that follows a tradition that in many other places has been eradicated, this is throwing stones to the person who gets the black spot in the lottery, this time there's a person who disagrees with this tradition and says it at loud the climax occurs when this very person is the one that has the black spot.

the answer is b, it brings the reader closer to the action.

it would've been a if the word had been determined, not conceited
