Read the excerpt from "The Gift of the Magi."


Jim stopped inside the door, as immovable as a setter at the scent of quail. His eyes were fixed upon Della, and there was an expression in them that she could not read, and it terrified her. It was not anger, nor surprise, nor disapproval, nor horror, nor any of the sentiments that she had been prepared for. He simply stared at her fixedly with that peculiar expression on his face.


In this excerpt, Jim’s character is developed


A) indirectly, through his lack of action.

B) directly, through his physical appearance.

C) directly, through his personality that is concerned with change.

D) indirectly, through his lack of feelings for Della.

Answer:

In this excerpt, Jim's character is developed:

A. Indirectly, through his lack of action.

Explanation:

"The Gift of the Magi" is a short story by American author O. Henry first published in 1905. Jim and Della, the characters, are a married couple. They have no money to buy each other gifts, so they both make sacrifices. However, what one sacrifices interferes in the gift of the other. Della sells her hair to buy a beautiful chain for Jim's watch. Jim sells his watch to buy beautiful combs for Della's long hair.

In the excerpt we are analyzing here, Jim's character is developed through his lack of action. We do not know what he is thinking or feeling. He does not say or do anything. He just stands there, and that is enough to build tension. This is the moment he sees Della's short hair for the first time. Della and the readers are anxious about his reaction, but the reaction does not come.

It is only later that we understand he was speechless because he realized the gifts they had bought for one another could not be worn by any.
