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.

Which details in these lines contribute to the underlying tension of the scene as Salak prepares to depart?
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

"<em>I open my bag, spread out my little red kayak, and start to  pump it up"</em>

The last line indicated excercebates to the underlying tension in the scene.

Salak had purposed in her mind to journey down the Timbuktu river in Africa.

Prior to this scene, she had been advised severally by her guide who even at this point (which is at the edge of the river) says he is unable to proceed any further. According to the narratives, no man had ever completed neither had any woman.

The odds were not in her favour at all.

The more the guide tries to dissuade her, the more her will crystallizes towards the decision to do so.

Finally, in the scene above, she starts to pump the Kayak (a light frame watertight canoe) in readiness to commence the journey amidst degenerating weather conditions.  

Cheers!

children need to be loved, nurtured, should be provided for, and disciplined rewrite in correct parallelism​
Nostrana [21]

The sentence has been rewritten in correct parallelism below:

  • Children need to be loved, nurtured, provided for, and disciplined.

Parallelism is a style of writing in which words follow a particular pattern that lends rhythm and balance to the text. The way in which certain parts of the text are constructed is similar.

In the above sentence, the addition of the phrase, 'should be,' altered the correct pattern that the sentence had at the outset.

To balance the pattern and rhythm of the sentence, the past participles of the verbs should be maintained. Thus, the revised sentence is the above in bullet point.
