Answer:

1. The earrings signify Ama's Pride.

2. Lakshmi's dowry (the prized possession to be given to Lakshmi's in-law on her wedding day), would not be paid.

Explanation:

'Sold' by Patricia McCormick tells the story of a family in India, who struggled financially to meet up to their needs. There is Ama, the Mother of the house, Lakshmi her daughter, and Ama's husband who happens to be Lakshmi's step-father.
