Answer:

D Della sells her hair and receives hair combs as a gift. Jim sells his watch and receives a watch fob as a gift.

Explanation:

Irony refers to something that signifies the opposite that one intends. As a result, in "The Gift of the Magi," the irony is in the fact that neither Della nor Jim will be able to take pleasure in using each other's gifts, since Della sells her hair to buy a watch chain for her husband and Jim sells his watch to buy her hair combs.

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

                                                                     14 Green Meadows,

                                                                     Connecticut.

                                                                     22nd June, 2020.

Dear James,

How are you doing? How are the kids? I know Sally is keeping the house lively, because i know that left to you and little Michael, that house would be more silent than a graveyard.

I traveled down to Connecticut to visit my cousin just to have a change of scenery and so far I've had quite an experience here. The food is different, the weather is hotter down here and it appears there is a higher crime rate here. I'm adjusting nicely though.

I attended a football game last weekend and it was really fun. Connecticut is a fun place to be in, provided you don't stay out after 11, haha.

I have a date with a gorgeous lady tomorrow, i met her at the football game. She was supporting the home team though, but this shows that opposites attract, right?

I would be going back to California next week though, i would make a brief stop to see my brother before completing the journey home.

Greet Sally and Michael for me, tell them i would come over for Thanksgiving and that i love them. Take care, James.

                                                                   Yours faithfully,

                                                                    Jordan.
