Read the excerpt from "The Gift of the Magi." "Isn't it a dandy, Jim? I hunted all over town to find it. You'll have to look at

the time a hundred times a day now. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it." Instead of obeying, Jim tumbled down on the couch and put his hands under the back of his head and smiled. "Dell," said he, "let's put our Christmas presents away and keep 'em a while. They're too nice to use just at present. I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs. And now suppose you put the chops on." Which best describes the use of irony in this excerpt?

Read the passage from "The Lady, or the Tiger.” When her lover turned and looked at her, and his eye met hers as she sat there,
Katen [24]

Answer:

He trusts his lover, the princess, completely.

Explanation:

Frank R. Stanton's "The Lady, or the Tiger" is about the story of a young man who fell in love with a princess for which he was given 'fair' judgment. This fair judgment involves choosing between two doors, which contains a fair woman to become his wife immediately, or a tiger who will kill him.

And as seen in the given excerpt, the young man seemed faithful and trusts his lover completely. When it was time for him to choose, he looked at his lover and acted according to the indication of the princess. When the princess <em>"raised her hand, and made a slight, quick movement toward the right"</em>, the young man <em>"Without the slightest hesitation, went to the door on the right, and opened it."</em> This act showed complete trust in the decision of the one he loves.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.
