John Henry dies of exhaustion and overexertion. As you can imagine, digging a tunnel faster than a steam engine with just a hammer is very taxing, and he worked himself to death.

Hope this helps!

Read the following excerpt from “The Gift of the Magi” and answer the question. For there lay The Combs--the set of combs, side
Rina8888 [55]

Answer: The author is emphasizing the sense of loss that Della must feel when she realizes she can’t use them

Explanation:

Here's the remainder of the question:

What is the purpose of the author’s description of the beauty of the combs?

a The author is emphasizing the sense of loss that Della must feel when she realizes she can’t use them.

b. This description is included as a part of the setting of the story.

c. The author is contrasting Della’spoverty with her extravagant tastes.

d. The author wants the reader to understand Jim’s disappointment in Della..

From the excerpt, we can deduce that Della had always worshipped and craves for the beautiful combs, which were pure tortoise shell, and had jewelled rims which she could use for her hair.

We are further told that even though the conbs were expensive, and that she had craved and yearned for them, she has them now but that the tresses that would have adorned the coveted adornments were gone.

This illustrates the sense of loss that Della must feel when she realizes she can’t use them.
