Answer 1

Answer:

a) That he will no longer find her attractive

Explanation:

From The Gift of the Maggi, Della is afraid that her husband Jim would find her ugly and unattractive.

Della is a woman who strives to make herself pretty not just for herself but for her husband Jim who she dotes on. She uses a hot iron to curl her hair so that she would still look attractive to Jim. When she hears his footsteps, she prays, "God please, make him think i am still pretty"
