<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.

Identify and explain one rhetorical appeal used by Senator Hill
suter [353]

The Rhetorical Appeal used by Senator Hill in the Hill - Thomas hearings is called Pathos.

<h3>What is a rhetorical appeal?</h3>

Rhetorical appeals are the characteristics of an argument that make it truly convincing.

A writer appeals to a reader in a variety of ways to make a convincing argument.

  • Logos,
  • ethos,
  • pathos, and
  • kairos are the four types of persuasive appeals.

Logos, or the appeal to logic, is used to persuade an audience with logic.

On the other hand, Kairos is a rhetorical tactic that examines an argument's or message's timeliness and placement in the zeitgeist.

The phrase is derived from the Greek words for "proper time," "opportunity," or "season."
