Answer:

The correct answers are "The hair combs symbolize Della's love and sacrifice for Jim" and "The watch chain symbolizes Jim's love and sacrifice for Della".

Explanation:

1905 "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry tells the story of Jim and Della, a young couple that struggle to find a Christmas gift to each other while having very little money. In the story, Jim sells his watch to buy a set of hair combs to Della, while Della sells her hair to buy a watch chain for Jim. At the end of the story both have useless gifts but the acknowledgement that both love each other above anything.

Therefore the hair combs symbolizes Della love and sacrifice for Jim, while the watch chain represents Jim love and sacrifice for Della.
