Based on the following excerpt from O. Henry’s “The Gift of the Magi,” which statement about Della is most likely true?
One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. And sixty cents of it was in pennies. Pennies saved one and two at a time by bulldozing the grocer and the vegetable man and the butcher until one’s cheeks burned with the silent imputation of parsimony that such close dealing implied. Three times Della counted it. One dollar and eighty-seven cents. And the next day would be Christmas.
There was clearly nothing to do but flop down on the shabby little couch and howl. So Della did it.
A.
Della is upset because her house is in shabby condition for Christmas.
B.
Della is angry at herself for lying to the butcher to save some extra money.
C.
Della is ashamed because she cheated the local vegetable man out of money.
D.
Della is sad because she doesn’t have enough money to buy Christmas presents.
Della is sad that she didn't have enough money saved to get gifts; since it says "...and the next day would be Christmas," this implies it was important to the plot or story. The answer should be D.
Answer:
D.
Della is sad because she doesn’t have enough money to buy Christmas presents.

This description allows readers to visualize the dog's physical appearance. the desolation of the trail. the appearance of a dogsled. the man's facial expressions.
Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
Read the passage from Part 1 of "To Build a Fire."
The dog dropped in again at his heels, with a tail drooping discouragement, as the man swung along the creek bed. The furrow of the old sled trail was plainly visible, but a dozen inches of snow covered the marks of the last runners. In a month no man had come up or down that silent creek. The man held steadily on.
This description allows readers to visualize the dog's physical appearance. the desolation of the trail. the appearance of a dogsled. the man's facial expressions.
Answer:
the desolation of the trail.
Explanation:
The excerpt shown in the question above shows how the man and the dog are in a difficult situation on the trail. They are weak, tired and the trail seems to hinder their path. The narration shows how the scenario, in this case, the trail, emits a certain oppression in the characters, showing a tone of desolation, hopelessness and defeat. With this, the narration manages to create visual images in the reader, which are able to demonstrate the desolation of the track and how it affects the characters.
Objects are often given symbolic meaning. write three words that the picture might symbolize in the text box.

Consider:
Art is the antidote that can call us back from the edge of numbness, restoring the ability to feel for another. — Barbara Kingsolver, High Tide in Tucson
1. By using the word antidote, what does the author imply about the inability to feel for another?
2. If we changed the word antidote to gift, what effect would it have on the meaning of the sentence?
Answer:
1. The author implies that the inability to feel for another is a sickness and its remedy or cure is Art.
2. Changing the word antidote to gift would make art seem like an endowment or talent rather that can prove helpful to him.
Explanation:
An antidote is a remedy for a disease. It is like a medicine that can be used to cure an ailment. When the author said that art is an antidote that can restore our inability to feel for another, it implies that the inability to feel for another is like a disease whose remedy can only be art.
Changing the word antidote to 'gift' makes us see art as a privilege bestowed on a person that can serve a useful purpose for him.

In gentle numbers time so idly spent;
Sing to the ear that doth thy lays esteem
And gives thy pen both skill and argument.
Rise, restive Muse, my love's sweet face survey,
If Time have any wrinkle graven there;
If any, be a satire to decay,
And make Time's spoils despised every where.
Give my love fame faster than Time wastes life;
So thou prevent'st his scythe and crooked knife.

Given that Lilliput represents Britain and Blefuscu represents France in Gulliver's Travels, what does the Lilliputian official's description of Blefuscu as "the other great empire of the universe" suggest? a a. Britain has too high an opinion of France and its military. b b. Britain sees itself and France as rival superpowers. c c. France and Britain are strong allies. d d. France is the greater country of the two.
Answer:
The Lilliputian official's description of Blefuscu as "the other great empire of the universe" suggests:
b. Britain sees itself and France as rival superpowers.
Explanation:
We can easily break the quote down: To the official, there are only two great empires. One of them is Lilliput, the other one is Blefuscu. Since Lilliput represents Britain, we can see how the author, Jonathan Swift, is using this quote to criticize Britain's narrow view of the world. They do not think of other countries as great. And the only other country whose greatness they acknowledge is precisely the one they consider their enemy. To Britain, France is its rival in being the world's superpower. Of course, since it could not be different, Lilliput and Blefuscu are enemies in the story.
The novel "Gulliver's Travels" is a satire of society written by Jonathan Swift. By describing the fictitious countries and societies where Gulliver ends up during his voyages, the author criticizes human nature and its nitpicking.

3. Which statement best expresses a theme in the poem? A. A strong support system is necessary to overcome adversity. B. Gaining confidence with a new task requires independence and attention to detail. C. It takes time and courage to endure unfamiliar circumstances. D. Friends can inspire us to embrace the mystery of the unknown.
This question is about the poem "We Grow Accustomed to the Dark" by Emily Dickinson.
Answer:
The statement which best expresses a theme in the poem is:
C. It takes time and courage to endure unfamiliar circumstances.
Explanation:
[...]
The Bravest – grope a little –
And sometimes hit a Tree
Directly in the Forehead –
But as they learn to see –
Either the Darkness alters –
Or something in the sight
Adjusts itself to Midnight –
And Life steps almost straight.
Above we have the two final stanzas of the poem. The first one speaks of having the courage to face a new and unfamiliar situation. Those who are brave will try, even if it means to take risks and to get hurt at first. The last one speaks of time, of how we get used to something that was once different, even scary. The poem itself is in general alluding to resilience, to how we can adapt, adjust, become stronger and wiser when facing difficulties. Having that in mind, I believe the best option to be letter C. It takes time and courage to endure unfamiliar circumstances.

by she let it out that Moses had been dead a considerable long time; so then I didn't care no more about him, because I don't take no stock in
dead people.
What does this section reveal about the character Huck's perspective on education?

O He only values education when it provides relevant, useful information
He doesn't think that lessons should include religious figures.
D. He only values education when it provides relevant, useful information
He doesn't think that lessons should include religious figures.
This is the answer because it says he was in a sweat to find out all about him meaning he was really interested in learning all about him but the section also says I then did not care anymore about him because he was dead so I think it makes the most sense to pick D.
The given section of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn infers that Huck was less interested in religious figures and only values education when it provides relevant information. Therefore, (D) is the correct option.
What is Education?Education is an institution through which society imparts knowledge about relevant things to its members in order to make them prepared for employment and also it helps them to lead a meaningful life.
Huck feels that religious figures should not be included in the lessons and there should be only relevant lessons. Therefore, (D) is the correct option.

Which two sentences in these excerpts from Kate Chopin’s “The Locket” reflect the theme of holding on to love despite time and distance.
The letter had made Edmond heart sick and home sick. He stretched himself on his back and looked straight up at the blinking stars. But he was not thinking of them nor of anything but a certain spring day when the bees were humming in the clematis; when a girl was saying goodbye to him. He could see her as she unclasped from her neck the locket which she fastened about his own. It was an old fashioned golden locket bearing miniatures of her father and mother with their names and the date of their marriage. It was her most precious earthly possession.
…
Octavie wore a plain black dress, severe in its simplicity. A narrow belt held it at the waist and the sleeves were gathered into close fitting wristbands. She had discarded her hoopskirt and appeared not unlike a nun. Beneath the folds of her bodice nestled the old locket. She never displayed it now. It had returned to her sanctified in her eyes; made precious as material things sometimes are by being forever identified with a significant moment of one's existence.
…
Octavie felt as if she had passed into a stage of existence which was like a dream, more poignant and real than life. There was the old gray house with its sloping eaves. Amid the blur of green, and dimly, she saw familiar faces and heard voices as if they came from far across the fields, and Edmond was holding her. It was as if the spirit of life and the awakening spring had given back the soul to her youth and bade her rejoice.
Answer:
*It was an old fashioned golden locket bearing miniatures of her father and mother with their names and the date of their marriage.
*It had returned to her sanctified in her eyes; made precious as material things sometimes are by being forever identified with a significant moment of one's existence.
