The word *common* can be pejoratively used to mean 'rude and unpolished in looks, manners, or speech'. It can probably be replaced with the word <em>vulgar</em> in this excerpt. Accordingly, the connotation of the word *common* as it is used in  “The Necklace” would be B. Unrefined.

Answer:

B. Unrefined

Explanation:

Are you sure your quote is correct?

The copy of the story I found has the following version of the excerpt:

"The other, astonished to be familiarly addressed by this plain  good-wife, did not recognize her at all, and stammered:  

"But—madame!—I do not know—You must have mistaken.""

Of the three answer choices, the second one, in my opinion, works best.

A little earlier in the story, we read this about Mathilde:

"Mme. Loisel looked old now. She had become the woman of  impoverished households—strong and hard and rough. With  frowsy hair, skirts askew, and red hands, she talked loud while  washing the floor with great swishes of water."

Unrefined (i.e. uncultured, not characterized by good taste or manners) would definitely be a good word to describe Mathilde Loisel.

This one is actually a good question. Well first, this is from the great gatsby. Fitzgerald was trying to give a balance view in the beginning of who the great gatsby was. And even the author, he lived a wonderful life that is why he related that into Caraway's character, having the same background as him.

"We need the medalllion!" Luis exclaimed.

"Okay, let's go" I agreed.

Now, we were on our way to look for the medallion It was pitch dark outside, I could barely see anything, but we needed to find that medallion. If it ended up in the wrong hands, everything could be over. It's powers Grant many amazing things, however, if the enemy obtains it, its game over for all of us; and I had no idea where to find it

"Hurry" I told Luis who stood behind me not moving one muscle.

"Oh you poor thing. Never trust anyone" he said as I turned to look at him.

"WHAT THE??" I practically yelled.

It was him; LUIS HAD THE MEDALLION.

"YOU TRADOR! I THOGUHT we were in this together"

"Wait where are you going" I finsihed saying.

" See you never dumbo" Luis yelled as he started running.

Now it was up to me to find Luis, my best friend who turned out to be a tardor!
