Suddenly she turned from the window and stood before the glass. Her eyes were shining brightly, but her face had lost its color.

Quickly she pulled down her hair and let it fall to its complete length.
The James Dillingham Youngs were very proud of two things which they owned. One thing was Jim’s gold watch. It had once belonged to his father. And, long ago, it had belonged to his father’s father. The other thing was Della’s hair. If a queen had lived in the rooms near theirs, Della would have washed and dried her hair where the queen could see it. Della knew her hair was more beautiful than any queen’s jewels and gifts. If a king had lived in the same house, with all his riches, Jim would have looked at his watch every time they met. Jim knew that no king had anything so valuable.

So now Della’s beautiful hair fell about her, shining like a falling stream of brown water. It reached below her knee. It almost made itself into a dress for her.

The author probably wrote this passage to -

a

b

c

inform readers about the Queen of Sheba

Answer:

c

Explanation:

The purpose of this passage is most likely to make an entertaining comparison between Della and a queen and Jim and a King. The text does not seem to be an opinion on a fictional or historical character since it does not mention anyone in particular except for the members of the James Dillingham Young family.
