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.

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.

Describe the central idea of Senator Hill's speech.
Svet_ta [14]

The central idea of the speech is that the country's financial decisions must be taken responsibly, stimulating the country's progress and not its division.

<h3>What is the central idea?</h3>
  • It is the most important subject of the text.
  • It is the subject defended in the text.
  • It is the author's position on something.

In his speech, Senator Hill argued that the coinage of gold and silver should be analyzed rationally, taking into account what would be best for the country as a whole. That's because this was an economic issue and should be treated as such and not evaluated with emotional and selfish ideas.

Therefore, the central idea of the text is the need for rationality about political, economic, and social issues, so that the country can have beneficial advances for society.
