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.

PLEASE HELP, I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST 5 STARS AND ALL THAT STUFF, IF LINKS OR WRONG ANSWER I WILL REPORT YOU
Arada [10]

<em>Minutes</em><em> </em><em>that</em><em> </em><em>Matter</em><em> </em>and <em>Defeating</em><em> </em><em>Dragons</em> are working for the same common goal: helping others. Both articles describe groups helping people constantly, consistently, and not asking for money in return, selflessly. Both groups also sacrifice their time and energy towards helping people, because they value everyone's life and happiness.

I included these revisions to add clarity to my writing, correct grammatical errors, and reduce run on sentences. Additionally, I reduced redundancy in the first paragraph.

hope this is okay for you.
