Why are the Loisels so upset about losing the necklace?

English
1 answer:
Ad libitum [116K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The Loisels are upset about losing the necklace because:

A. The necklace belongs to someone else and they feel obligated to

replace it.

Explanation:

This question is about the short story "The Necklace" by Guy de Maupassant. Mathilde Loisel, the main character, is a woman of elegant tastes but little money. <u>She borrows a fancy diamond necklace from a friend of hers to attend a party with her husband. On the way back home, she somehow loses the necklace. Since her husband does not earn a lot, and since they feel obligated to replace the lost necklace, they end up borrowing money.</u> It takes the Loisels ten years to pay their debt off. Ironically, that is when Madame Loisel finds out the lost necklace was actually a fake one, worth much less than the real one she and her husband bought to replace it.

kkurt [141]
Once, I was supposed to learn about leadership at a camp. It was a bit of a challenge. I was struggling at first. It was hard for me to stay involved. I hated the fact that I had to contribute at all. I thought it would be impossible for me to overcome it. I realised that I had a very negative outlook on the situation and that I needed to be a little more positive. The leaders of the camp decided to promote me to be an honorary leader because I helped people with the same problems as me. The end.

The sentence below may contain a fragment or run-on sentence. If you think the sentence is correct and does not contain a fragme
pogonyaev

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

When independent clauses are joined incorrectly (with improper punctuation or conjunction), we have what is called a run-on sentence. An independent clause is a group of words that can stay alone as a sentence, which means it offers information that makes sense without the help of another sentence.

A sentence fragment is basically an incomplete sentence. That means it is a phrase that is missing a key element, such as a verb or a subject, or a phrase that is dependent on a main clause but has been detached from it through wrong punctuation.

The sentence "After falling to the warm, damp forest floor, plants decay and release nutrients" is complete, and the punctuation is used appropriately. It might look confusing at first since the main clause came after the subordinate one. If we invert the clauses, we'll see there is no problem with the sentence - note that a comma will disappear now that the main clause comes first:

Plants decay and release nutrients after falling to the warm, damp forest floor.
