<span>Jim stops frozen in his tracks. His reaction is probably that he thinks he may have entered the wrong apartment by mistake. He doesn't even recognize his wife at first. He thinks he is looking at a stranger, and he doesn't understand what this strange woman is doing in his apartment and what has become of Della.
I hope this helps you</span>

Answer:

That Jim is shocked that Della has cut her hair.

Explanation:

William Sydney Porter's (or more famously known as O. Henry) short story "The Gift of the Magi" shows the story of a couple, who through unselfish love for one another, ended up buying gifts that are useless.

Jim and his wife Della are two characters of the story. Though poor, their love for one another knows no bounds. With the upcoming Christmas festival, Jim and Della each decided to buy a little gift that the other person will like and make good use of. Della sold her long hair and bought a watch chain for Jim while Jim sold his watch to buy a beautiful comb. When Jim went home, he was greeted by a short-haired Della. This gave him a shock, with the realization that now his gift will be useless to her.

What type of verbal appears in the sentence?
zaharov [31]
This is an 'adverb infinitive'. It is not a participle, either present of past, because it doesn't end in -ing. And it is not an 'adjective infinitive' since its meaning is adverbial, 'you must capture or trap the other king' IN ORDER 'to win a game of chess'. Adjective has to modify a noun, which isn't the case in this sentence.

Consider Dickinson’s poems "I Started Early—Took My Dog" and “Apparently with No Surprise.” Which topic do the two poems share?
Artyom0805 [142]

Both poems show the intensity of the forces of nature.

This can be seen because:

  • In "I Started Early—Took My Dog," the author shows the liveliness and influence of the sea. She does it as a metaphor for what a man would be able to do with her life.
  • In "Apparently with No Surprise," the author shows how frost is capable of killing a flower, without any mercy. She uses it to make a metaphor about the end of life.

Both poems portray the author's very deep thoughts, she had much stronger thoughts about life, death, and passions and for this reason used the force of nature to represent these thoughts.

Furthermore, it is necessary to emphasize that the topic of a poem is one of the subjects that the poem addresses.
