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.

How is Mildred spending her afternoon and evening?
KengaRu [80]

Answer: Mildred spends the majority of her day watching her parlor walls.

Explanation:

Mildred lives a wretched existence in her everyday life by acting obsessed with soap operas that are televised on her wall-sized TV screens. Mildred's unimportant life is entirely absorbed by senseless entertainment, plus she is intrigued by the interactive television shows that enable her to engage in the plot by giving her easy lines to read. She has three walls of her living room engulfed in these screens and provokes Montag to purchase a fourth. The soap operas are interactive. Viewers get scripts and roles to act out along with the actors on the screen. Television has become her foremost means of entertainment. She is fully involved in their false lives and regards them as her family.
