Answer:

The answer is indeed letter D) She has nothing appropriate to wear to the formal ball.

Explanation:

Mathilde is a character in Guy de Maupassant's "The Diamond Necklace". She is utterly dissatisfied with her financial condition in life. She despises her own furniture, for instance, since she believes she deserves better because she has good taste. When her husband shows her the invitation to the ball, instead of being thrilled by this opportunity to mingle with the society she admires so much, Mathilde is mortified; she thinks she has nothing to wear, no fine jewelry to flaunt.

Since they can't afford it, her husband suggests that she borrow something from a friend, which Mathilde does. She then goes to the ball wearing what she believes to be an expensive diamond necklace. Mathilde, upon losing the necklace, desperately buys a new one to replace it, and gives it back to her friend. She and her husband go bankrupt trying to pay for the expensive jewelry only to find out, a long time afterward, that the first necklace was fake.

What does the mayflower compact say?
Aneli [31]
The Mayflower Compact is a written agreement composed by a consensus of the new Settlers arriving at New Plymouth in November of 1620. They had traveled across the ocean on the ship Mayflower which was anchored in what is now Provincetown Harbor near Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The Mayflower Compact was drawn up with fair and equal laws, for the general good of the settlement and with the will of the majority. The Mayflower’s passengers knew that the New World’s earlier settlers failed due to a lack of government. They hashed out the content and eventually composed the Compact for the sake of their own survival.
The original document is said to have been lost, but the writings of William Bradford’s journal Of Plymouth Plantation and in Edward Winslow’s Mourt’s Relation: A Journal of the Pilgrims at Plymouth are in agreement and accepted as accurate. The Mayflower Compact reads:

<span>"In the name of God, Amen. We, whose names are underwritten, the Loyal Subjects of our dread Sovereign Lord, King James, by the Grace of God, of England, France and Ireland, King, Defender of the Faith, e&. Having undertaken for the Glory of God, and Advancement of the Christian Faith, and the Honour of our King and Country, a voyage to plant the first colony in the northern parts of Virginia; do by these presents, solemnly and mutually in the Presence of God and one of another, covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil Body Politick, for our better Ordering and Preservation, and Furtherance of the Ends aforesaid; And by Virtue hereof to enact, constitute, and frame, such just and equal Laws, Ordinances, Acts, Constitutions and Offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the General good of the Colony; unto which we promise all due submission and obedience. In Witness whereof we have hereunto subscribed our names at Cape Cod the eleventh of November, in the Reign of our Sovereign Lord, King James of England, France and Ireland, the eighteenth, and of Scotland the fifty-fourth. Anno Domini, 1620." </span>

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
Crazy boy [7]

According to a different source, this question refers to the Brown v. Board of Education decision. In this case, the court issued a unanimous decision in favor of the Brown family. This decision was written by Chief Justice Earl Warren.

I would argue that Warren's rhetoric is persuasive and authoritative. He very clearly explains the reasons why the Court reached this decision. This conveys a feeling of knowledge and clarity. The line that I find most moving is:

<em>"To separate [black children] from others of similar age and qualifications solely because of their race generates a feeling of inferiority as to their status in the community that may affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely to ever be undone."</em>

I find this line to be very powerful because it gets to the source of the problem. By explaining how black children might feel, it encourages people to rethink segregation. It also supports the idea that all people are equally valuable, regardless of their color.
