Answer:
С
. Mathilda and Mme. Forestier share a close, long-lasting friendship.
Explanation:
Guy de Maupassant's short story "The Necklace" revolves around the character of Mathilde Loisel and her desire to be the same or at least try to be at par with the rich women of the society. And in her greed and desire to be one with them, she ended up ruining a decade of their lives, leading them to be impoverished and struggling.
Mathilde had decided to 'rent' a necklace from her friend Mme. Forestier so that she won't look so out of place when attending the party at the Minister's palace. And through this act of borrowing the necklace, <em>"a necklace of diamonds"</em> from her friend, we can sense that they have a close relationship, with Mr. Loisel stating <em>"You're quite thick enough with her to do that"</em>. Moreover, after paying off the debt for the expense of replacing the lost necklace, when they met again after a decade, they remain close friends, with Mme. Forestier reacted lovingly and sympathetically, calling her<em> "Oh, my poor Mathilde!"</em>
Throughout the story, the relationship between the two women seemed to be that of a close bond. Thus, the correct answer is option C.

D. he hope for a puppy but got a hamster instead .
1- <span>The ancient Chinese board game “Go” is invented long before there was any writing to record its rules. A game from the impossibly distant past has now brought us closer to a moment that once seemed part of an impossibly distant future: a time when machines are cleverer than we are.
<u>Because it's an action that started and finished in the past, this should read </u><u>was</u><u> (Simple Past)</u>
2- </span><span>For years, Go was considered the last redoubt against the march of computers. Machines might win at chess, draughts, Othello, three-dimensional noughts and crosses, Monopoly, bridge, and poker. Go, though, is different.
<u>This continues the same line of mistake as the first paragraph. Because it's referencing something that already happened ("Go was considered...), this should read </u><u>was</u><u> (Simple Past).</u>
The game required intuition, strategising <u>and</u> character reading, along with vast numbers of moves and permutations. According to legend, it was invented by a Chinese emperor to teach his subjects balance and patience: qualities unique to human intelligence.
<u>The conjunction and is used before the last element in a list. In this case, this word should be substituted by a comma because <em>character reading</em> is not the last element on that list.</u>
3- </span><span>This week, though, a computer called Alpha Go <u>defeats</u> the world’s best player of Go. It did so by “ learning” the game, crunching through 30 million positions from recorded matches, reacting and anticipating. It <u>evolves</u> as a player and taught itself.
That single game of Go marks a milestone on the road to the “technological singularity”, the moment when artificial intelligence becomes capable of self-improvement and learns faster than humans can control or understand.</span><span>
<u>These should read defeated ... evolved. This continues the same line of thought on subject-verb agreement. If it's talking about a past event, and the rest of the paragraph sustains that idea, then these verbs should be in Simple Past.</u></span><span>
