The type of conflict which is implied in the above passage is Person vs. Self.

In the short story “The Gift of Magi,” the American writer O. Henry speaks about the feeling of love and the emotions related to it. The couple Della and Jim are so much in love with each other that they would sacrifice anything for their partner to be happy. Since they are poor, they both fall short in arranging money for the Christmas gift. Della wanted to buy a platinum chain for Jim’s watch, but her savings were not enough for the gift. Della decided to sell off her long hair and buy a platinum chain for Jim's watch while Jim sold off her watch to buy a beautiful comb for Della's beautiful hair. The last scene of the story reflects on their love for each other which is beyond the materialistic nature of the world. Their sacrifice for each other made them the wisest people like Magi.

It is first worthy to note that through his papers, Hamilton was advocating for the adoption of the constitution by the people of the United States. In this excerpt, the words that the author uses to tell us what will be taught are;

  • 'History will teach us'
  • The danger that he is trying to warn us about is that some people, more specifically, the anti-federalists and opposers of the constitution project themselves as supporters of the people whereas their main aim was the quest for power and recognition. Some others who presented unpopular messages like the federalists had the real interest of the people at heart.

In trying to get the people to believe in the messages of the federalists,

Hamilton warned the people that those who had a superficial or "special mask for the rights of the people" could be more dangerous than those whose ideas are presently rejected.

This second group has the interest of the nation at heart. He was among these federalists who were interested in the people.

Each one of the following sentences contains a clause. In which sentence is the clause used as an adverb?
Softa [21]
<span>The correct option is option “C”. “I do not mind fishing, as long as I don’t have to bait the hook” is the sentence in which the clause is used as an adverb. The options “A” and “D” cannot be the right answer since in both the cases the clause is modifying the subject and thus makes it an adjective. So these two options are obviously ruled out. In case of option “B” the clause is acting as a noun and so this option also gets cancelled out.   </span>
