So you didn't put any statements...but here's what it's about.

"The Gift of the Magi" is a short story, written by O. Henry, about a young married couple and how they deal with the challenge of buying secret Christmas gifts for each other with very little money

Yeah you didn't put any statements, but if I were to guess, I would think his purpose in writing it would be to show that money isn't what matters in life. What matters in life is family and love for your fellow man.

Use your editing skills to select the best sentence: Select one: a. Vampires are creatures that have a bad reputation. b. Vampir
gavmur [86]

Answer:

<em>d. Vampires can be nice enough, they just need to eat like the rest of us.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Option a does not give a clear indication of why vampires have a bad reputation. The word reputation should be associated with the reason.

Option b does associates the reason for the reputation, but the part 'blood is thought to be sucked by them' is not correct grammatically.

option c shows the presence of tautology, where horribly and awfully are used before bad.

option d is the only option that shows the proper use of grammar.
