I the story the husband sells his watch to buy his wife some combs, and she sells her hair to buy him a chain for his watch. The irony in the gift exchange is critical to the story, because the theme is that they did'nt mind getting useless gifts, because they knew their partner gave up something important to them (his watch and her hair) to but a gift for each other.

Oduvanchick [21]
Of these four words, the one which is most likely to have a negative flavor or connotation is d)meander. To confuse is the state of being bewildered or unclear in one's mind about something. To distract is to the divided attention of an individual or a group away from the designated object on which the focus should be put on. A harangue is a long speech delivered in front of an audience. To meander is to walk around aimlessly without a fixed direction which contains a negative flavor or connotation.
