D) "'It was worth at most only five hundred francs!'"

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

The sentece from the short story "The Necklace" that causes surprise in the reader is the one that reveals that the borrowed necklace, which was supposed to be made of diamonds, was merely a replica.

This means that all of Mathilde's hard work to pay for the one she bought to replace the one she lost, was not necessary to begin with, since the original only costed five hundred francs.

mario62 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer here is A)

The author uses strong adjectives and figurative language.

Explanation:

Adjectives are words used to characterise, explain or modify nouns or pronouns.

In the sentence above, stubborn, blazed-up and resistant function both as adjectives and as figurative expressions.

Adjectives because the author uses them to qualify Edna's will.

Figurative because, they suggest another form of meaning which in this context, of course, are used to project the strength and resilience of Edna's will.

Another example of the use of a figurative language is:

You are my diamond.

Cheers!
