Answer:

D. To show how they feel about where they live.

Explanation:

Guy De Maupassant's short story "The Necklace" recounts how the selfish ambitions of a poor housewife led to the downfall of their family. Madame Matilde Loisel and her husband's unfortunate tragedy constitute the plot of the whole story.

Matilde and her husband Mr. Loisel had been invited to a fancy party which led to Mrs. Loisel demanding a new 'presentable' gown from her husband, way beyond their means. Then again, she wanted a necklace to go with the dress, so she borrowed one from Mrs. Forestier. After the party, she lost the necklace somewhere and so they had to sell off their things and take a loan to buy a new replacement for the lost necklace. Suffering for ten years just for paying back the loan, Mrs. Forestier revealed that the lost necklace was just a fake one. Thus, the Loisel's had not only lost their money and time but also their life.

The excerpt in the question is from the middle part of the story when they had just came back from the party, tired and also at the same time feeling inferior to their friends. The setting of the couple's apartment on Rue des Martyrs is significant for it shows how they (the Loisels) feel about where they live. The place is not that popular and even more shabby and poor in comparison to their friends at the party who live in luxury and big houses.

Describe the plot of the William Tell story. Use complete sentences.
user100 [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. William Tell refused to bow to a tyrant. As punishment, he had to shoot an apple off his son's head with an arrow. Tell was an expert archer. He succeeded at the challenge.

B. During the 15th century, in the Swiss canton of Uri, the legendary hero Wilhelm Tell leads the people of the forest cantons in rebellion against tyrannical Austrian rule. Tell himself assassinates the corrupt Austrian governor. The play's underlying theme is the justifiability of violence in political action.

C.  A man is fleeing for his life from imperial troops. Tell steps in and rescues him. Soon, the peaceful Tell is embroiled in his country's fight for freedom, which reaches a high point during the apple shoot in act 3, culminating one act later when he slays Gessler with an arrow.

D. After refusing to pay homage to a Hapsburg liege, Tell was forced to submit to the test of marksmanship. Later, Tell killed the tyrant and went on to many a daring exploit in the service of the Old Swiss Confederacy.
