Answer: C. Making inferences
Explanation:
When we receive a text, we read it, make observations and summarize it in our minds. After this we then use the information gathered to make inferences which would enable us understand the meaning of the message.
We will then be able to formulate a reply based on the inferences made about what the text could mean. This process can happen really fast and is the reason texting can happen in relatively huge volumes in a short period of time.
Answer:
A young country women has lived all her life in the quite fields of Texas. She has never experienced the busy and hustling life if the city and is curious to hear the murmuring of people and attractions all around her. She dreams to visit a city filled with lights and charm. She wants to visit the big city, the city that never sleeps, New York City.
When the opportunity finally presented itself to her, She immediately packed all her things and waved goodbye to all her beloved family. She would come home with stories of a land that her kinfolk had never seen beofore. She was ready. She claimed aboard a plane that would take her to New York and anxiously watched her homelands drift away from the window. Dread filled her stomach as she watched everything she was previously familiar with shrink into nothing behind her. Something else filled her stomach as the plane approached the city full of beautiful lights though, a feeling of curiosity and excitement. Once the women boarded off the plane she became one with the crowds on New York. She was excited but fealt uneased. She was very different from the people around her. They were all dressed in modern fashion and wore suits, ties, and fancy dresses. The omen looked down upon her own clothes and hung her head in shame as she realized she was the only person wearing a cowboy hat and boots. She found it strange how people on the other side of America could be so different from her people. These people weren’t welcoming nor cared about anyone new. Hospitality is what the Women had expected because that is what Texans always seemed to show to newcomers and guests. She became overwhelmed as surges of people pushed past her and talked. It felt almost like too much. Too many people. Too much noise. Too much going on. She stopped to take a deep breath and then continued on. She shrugged the thought off as her attention shifted to all the beautiful colors of the city. She watched in amazement as ads and videos blinked and burned all over the place. Her eyes widened as she noticed all the restaurants and stores that were only footsteps away. They had every store she could possibly imagine from a Boot Barn to a Gucci store. They really had it all in this city she thought in excitement. Taxies drove by and filled every road to the brim making it appear that traffic was a constant thing. The women laughed. She thought is strange that someone would pay others for a ride in a car. This was unheard of in her small town in Texas. The Women was thrilled and enjoyed the newness of the city. She indulged in theaters, ate at peculiar restaurants that never existed back at her home, took a ride in a bright yellow taxi, and shopped at multiple stores. New York City really was a strange place filled with many beauties that the Women had never known before.
A, the American Revolution
"The Gift of the Magi" tells the story of a young couple Jim and Della. Christmas is coming, and each wants to buy the other a present. The problem is that they really cannot afford to spend a lot of money on presents. Jim treasures his gold pocket watch, which has been given to him by his father. Della treasures her long, beautiful hair.
As the story progresses, the two struggle to think of ways to buy a Christmas present for each other. Finally, on Christmas Eve, Della realizes she has next to no money left for her husband's Christmas present. What will she do???
At this point, she goes into town to search for something to buy with the little money she has. She knows that her husband's most prized possession is his pocket watch. She thinks that maybe she could buy him a chain for it, but they are all too expensive.
That's when Della realizes she has a way to EARN the money -- her hair. She runs out and has it cut short. She is able to sell the hair for enough money to buy the chain for her husband's watch.
Her husband comes home with a present for Della. When he sees her, however, he is shocked. She tells him she cut her hair for his present. When Jim hands her his present, we can see why he was so shocked. He had bought her a pair of really expensive hair combs. How could he afford such a gift? He had sold his most prized possession -- his watch -- just to buy his wife a present.
Of course, now that Della has short hair, she cannot use the combs. And, now that Jim has sold his watch, he has no use for the chain. That aside, their love for one another is the greatest gift of all.
And so, Della's problem was how to buy a gift for her beloved husband. She solves this problem by selling her most prized possession, her hair.
