Answer:

(D) By sacrificing her own life.

Explanation:

Alfred Noyes's poem "The Highwayman", tells the story of an unnamed highwayman in love with the daughter of a landlord. The poem's setting is in rural England in the 18th century.  

The unnamed protagonist highwayman rides into town on a winter night. There, he fell in love with the daughter of the landlord, which makes Tim, another suitor of Bess, jealous. But they can't be together at once for the highwayman was after a prize. So, he asked her to wait for him, which she readily agrees.  

After he left, Tim betrays him to the authorities. The King's men kidnapped Bess and use her as bait. The men tied her up and kept a musket near her, taunting her to keep guard. Bess knows which way he will come. So, she used the rifle to kill herself, sacrificing her life just to warn the highwayman of the ambush.

What inference can be made about Della from this
amm1812

Answer:

Della bargains well in order to save money.

Explanation:

The given question refers to the following excerpt from the short story<em> The Gift of the Magi </em>written by O. Henry:

<em>Pennies saved one and two at a time by bull-dozing the grocer and the vegetable man and the butcher until one's cheeks burned.</em>

<em />

Based on this excerpt, we can conclude that Della bargains well in order to save money.

The verb <em>to bulldoze</em><em> </em>can mean several things, including <em>to coerce or intimidate (someone to do something). </em>This leads us to think that Della is very persistent when it comes to bargaining, which often helps her save up some money. She and her husband Jim are very poor, and even a single penny can mean a lot to someone.

Why wouldn't you write to your teacher the way you would write to a friend​
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

It is considered to be a bit disrespectful to write to a teacher in an unprofessional, casual manner, the way you would a friend because you aren't close on a personal level. Of course it depends on the teacher and subject of the letter/email/etc. as well.
