O. Henry's short story The Gift of the Magi is about love and sacrifice. Della and Jim love each other and sacrifice hair and watch, respectively.

<h3>Who are Della and Jim?</h3>

Della and Jim are the main characters of the short story where they both sacrifices their most precious things for each other. The couple wanted to gift each other and sell their most treasured thing to buy the gift.

Della cuts and sells her hair to buy a platinum fob chain for Jim's gold watch while on the other hand, Jim sells his watch to buy a set of ornamental combs. Though their gifts were not usable they showed their love and sacrifice for each other.

Therefore, Della sacrifices her hair and Jim his watch.

Scrat [10]

PLEASE HELP ASAP
Vitek1552 [10]
It was dark, and the only thing I hear was screaming. The sound was as loud as bombs, but less dangerous. The ground was soaked in blood of all my fellow Jews, some begged for mercy but none came. Then we see our salvation, we saw angels coming to save us, angels in the form of American soldiers, our allies were here to save us.

Hat is the complete predicate of the sentence below?
eimsori [14]
The complete predicate in this sentence is A. mopped his brow, exhaled sharply, and picked up his phone.
B and C aren't correct, because they aren't complete predicates - something is missing. 
D isn't correct, because <em>looking up from his computer monitor </em>is not a predicate, it is an adverb phrase.
