Answer:
A feminist analysis would focus on how the men discuss Mrs. Ochuba. A historical analysis would focus on whether using a native doctor was considered superstitious at the time and place the story depicts.
Explanation:
In order to answer this we need to define the terms "feminist analysis" and "historical analysis". While both of them are types of analysis of literary work, they differ in goals.
Feminist analysis focuses on analyzing in what manner women are presented in literature and also the role of gender in the character's actions and development.
On the other hand, historical analysis is the method used to help us understand the past. It focuses on examining a literature work and by doing so, learning about everyday life, tradition, customs and connecting it to a certain place and period in time.
Answer:
2. Those who sacrifice for others are great people.
Explanation:
O Henry's short story "The Gift of the Magi" tells the story of a poor couple's decision to give up their most precious possessions just to make the other happy. The characters of Jim and Della are the perfect example of who is wise.
In the passage from the text given in the question, we see the narrator stating that though Jim and Della are "<em>two foolish children</em>", their "<em>sacrifice...... of the greatest treasures of their house"</em> made them the <em>"wisest</em>" of everyone. Jim had given up his watch to buy an ornamented comb for his wife Della while she sold her hair to get a watch chain for Jim. This way, they showed their selfless love and sacrifice for their partner.

Assuming you meant explanatory text and not exclamation text, the answer would be brackets. For example, say your quotation is "She wrote the book." If you are quoting this directly in a paper, you want your audience to know who "she" is. So, you use brackets, and write the following: "[J.K. Rowling] wrote the book." Hope this helps.
The first answer is correct: "They suggest that the heat is stifling, giving the poem an oppressive mood".
The author begins the poem with the sentence cited above. The use of the expression "rend open" plus the use of the imperative mode, suggest some sort of desperation caused by the heat. That is why the author prays for wind (an unbeatable natural force) to come and defeat heat, ending the suffering.
