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.

I want an explanation (nothing - something - everything - something)
Scrat [10]

Indefinite pronouns are used to refer to nonspecific people, things or places. In this way, the speaker uses -body or -one to refer to people, and    -thing to indicate objects. As a general rule, these pronouns are consider to be in the singular form so the verb has to agree with it.  

It is important to highlight that “Nothing” is used in negative sentences (example: Nobody worked yesterday.)

"Something" is used for unknown or nonspecific object and it is appears in affirmative sentences.(Example: I saw something in the kitchen).

“Everything” is used to refer to a total amount of nonspecific objects and it appears in affirmative sentences.(Example: I bought everything yesterday).
