Answer:

O Indirect characterization, because it is showing Della's pride in her long hair.

Explanation:

O. Henry's short story "The Gift of the Magi," tells the story of a young impoverished couple who sacrificed their most prized possessions and needs to make the other's Christmas special. And in the process of making the other happy, their acts of kindness and humility for each other is what made them similar to the Magi who visited Jesus Christ when he was born.

The given excerpt from the story is an example of indirect characterization. Indirect characterization is when the personality and other features of the characters are revealed through the description of their appearance, speech, and actions. In the given excerpt, the<u> indirect characterization shows Della's pride in her long hair. </u> Through the mentioning of how Della <em>"would have let her hair hang out the window"</em> in a move to depreciate the <em>"Queen of Sheba[ and her] jewels and gifts"</em>.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

Quiz: Dashes, Parentheses, and Hyphens 3:Mechanics
Alenkinab [10]
The first answer is correct since you are only supposed to put information that clarifies the sentence in parentheses. Only putting dinner in parentheses wouldn’t make sense since it is a crucial part of the sentence, nor would you only put 6:30pm in parentheses since you already have about outside of the parentheses so saying As soon as we had finished dinner it was about, I started my homework.,Doesn’t make sense that means that even if you put things in parentheses the sentence should still make sense if the parentheses aren’t there.

I hope this makes sense if not please comment and I can try to explain it better :)

“The Ambitious Guest”
Yanka [14]

The imagery assists in setting the overall tone of suspicion, saying that the area is beautiful but feels dangerous. It assists in adding symbolism as well as giving the reader a sense of foreboding.
