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. The father of the house is a loafer who spends all his monies on gambling and irrelevant things. Lakshmi adores her mother Ama who raised the family on her own, carrying all the financial burdens.

Ama's earrings is described as the joyful noise of tinkling gold. It signifies Ama's pride. The family hoped it would serve as Lakshmi's dowry, but they decide to sell it when things become really difficult. This means that Lakshmi's dowry would not be paid.

Which lines in this excerpt from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet foreshadow the tragic fate of Romeo and Juliet? (FAN&MEDAL)

Marina CMI [18]

The correct answer is lines 3 and 4. What those two lines are saying is that Romeo's love for Juliet is so powerful that its is overcoming all of his other emotions and that if he doesn't control it soon then it will be the death of him. So pretty much its just saying that they are both in way over their heads and they should chill out before someone gets hurt.

So smile the heavens upon this holy act,

Do thou but close our hands with holy words,

Then love-devouring death do what he dare;

These violent delights have violent ends

Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
