Answer:

Person vs. Society.

Explanation:

The story of Jim and his wife Della in O. Henry's "The Gift of the Magi" shows how two people selflessly go out of their ability to make the other happy. Their efforts turned out to be useless in the present sense but then they were considered the best people to have ever did something for another.

Jim and Della are a poor couple who hardly have anything. And the festival of Christmas is approaching, meaning they had to prepare gifts for each other. Armed with just few sums of money for themselves, they set out to get each a gift that will prove the most useful. Della sold her hair to get Jim a watch chain, while Jim sold his watch to buy an ornamental comb for Della's beautiful hair. When both revealed their gifts, it turns out that there was no use for the present situation. But this selfless approach of the gifts showed how they brought out the true Christian spirit of putting others first. They are the wisest of all who had ever done this deed.

This story is a person vs. society conflict as it was the society that had imbibed on them the ritual of gifting presents. If this tradition hadn't been there, Jim would still have his watch and Della, her hair.

KATRIN_1 [288]

The correct answer is A. Main ideas

Explanation:

In texts or speeches, the purpose of the author or speaker is always to explain a central idea that is related to a specific topic, situation or issue. Additionally, the central idea is developed through main ideas, which are more specific than the central idea and act as detailed points of it. For example, in a persuasive speech the main ideas are the key reasons that support the author's position, in the same way, in the case of a text that explains the effects of global warming the details or main ideas to explain the topic are the more important effects of global warming in terms of ecosystems, health, economy, etc. According to this, the main ideas there the ones that are detailed points of focus for developing your central idea.

Arlecino [84]

Answer: 1. Zoomorphism, 2. Anthropomorphism

Explanation:

Both sentences are similes, phrases that compare a concept to something similar, but each one compares the object differently.

1. Zoomorphism is the literary device where the author gives animal-like qualities to a human being, in this case, comparing the action of the man to what a bird of prey would do from a high perch.

2. Anthropomorphism is the literary device that attributes human qualities to an animal, plant, or object, in this case, comparing how shriveled the plants were to the people's misery.

ruslelena [56]

The answer is: inaction.

Quietism was a movement which started in Spain, France and Italy in 1600s. It believed in the passivity of spirituality and in a contemplative life. It also assumed that perfection could be achieved by the abolition of will, so God would approach someone when its soul is in a quiet state, without any reasoning or executing any actions. As a result, man would accept whatever God grants him.
