Read the passage from "The Lottery.” Although the villagers had forgotten the ritual and lost the original black box, they still remembered to use stones. The pile of stones the boys had made earlier was ready; there were stones on the ground with the blowing scraps of paper that had come out of the box. Mrs. Delacroix selected a stone so large she had to pick it up with both hands and turned to Mrs. Dunbar. "Come on,” she said. "Hurry up.”

Why is it significant that the villagers have forgotten the ritual but remember to use stones?

It suggests that people in society often do things without the intent to harm people.
It symbolizes that people unconsciously follow society’s conventions even when they are unethical.
It suggests that most people in society are aware of the reasons for their actions.
It symbolizes that most people in society are willing to sacrifice their happiness for others.
