Read the following excerpt from “The Gift of the Magi” and answer the question. For there lay The Combs--the set of combs, side

and back, that Della had worshipped long in a Broadway window. Beautiful combs, pure tortoise shell, with jewelled rims--just the shade to wear in the beautiful vanished hair. They were expensive combs, she knew, and her heart had simply craved and yearned over them without the least hope of possession. And now, they were hers, but the tresses that should have adorned the coveted adornments were gone. But she hugged them to her bosom, and at length she was able to look up with dim eyes and a smile and say: "My hair grows so fast, Jim! And them Della leaped up like a little singed cat and cried, "Oh, oh!" Jim had not yet seen his beautiful present. She held it out to him eagerly upon her open palm. The dull precious metal seemed to flash with a reflection of her bright and ardent spirit."Isn't it a dandy, Jim? I hunted all over town to find it. You'll have to look at the time a hundred times a day now. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it." Instead of obeying, Jim tumbled down on the couch and put his hands under the back of his head and smiled."Della," said he, "let's put our Christmas presents away and keep 'em a while. They're too nice to use just at present. I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs. And now suppose you put the chops on." The magi, as you know, were wise men--wonderfully wise men--who brought gifts to the Babe in the manger. They invented the art of giving Christmas presents. Being wise, their gifts were no doubt wise ones, possibly bearing the privilege of exchange in case of duplication. And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house. But in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest. O all who give and receive gifts, such as they are wisest. Everywhere they are wisest. They are the magi. What type of conflict is implied in the passage above?

How could these sentences be effectively combined with a coordinating conjunction?
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer: The United States and the United Kingdom joined the coalition, but France would have nothing to do with it.

Explanation: Coordinanting conjunctions are words that connect or coordinate two or more sentences, words or others that have the same syntactic importance.. They are usually used to equally emphasize the main clauses. There are 7 of them: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so and to use it correctly you can follow some rules:

1) They <u>always</u> connect phrases, words and clauses;

2) You can use them in the beginning of the sentence if:

  • you ensure the conjunction is immediately followed by the main cause;
  • to make the writing more effective;
  • don't use comma after the coordinating conjunction;

Therefore, the sentences above combined could be:

The United States and the United Kingdom joined the coalition, but France would have nothing to do with it

Please help me with this question it is so confusing! For the first one in Part A I am stuck between C and D. Any help will be g
Alika [10]

Answer:

C) The author tells about seeing Russell as a grown-up and accepting him as is. That is the detail that best explains how the author develops the theme over the course of the text. In ¨About Russell¨ the author starts describing how his brother used to be as they were children and continues describing how he gradually changed as they grew up. She had a vision for what her brother would become which was different from what he actually became. But by the end of the text she states that a ¨A grown man, Russell simply will not do what he doesn’t want to¨. That indicated that he could not be forced to change and therefore she accepted him as he was indicated by the statement ¨...my family simply accepts him as is¨

That's for part A

And part B is D I guess
