Answer:

Della sells her hair so that she can buy a chain for her husband's pocket watch. She is motivated to do this by her love for her husband, Jim, and her desire to buy him a special Christmas gift.

Explanation:

As a newlywed couple, Jim and Della struggle financially. Jim works hard to maintain his modest household, and Della appreciates all that he does for the two of them. As Christmas approaches, Della wants to buy a special gift for her husband. She has managed to save only $1.87, and she needs much more to buy the chain for his pocket watch. To get the extra money, she sells her greatest asset, her hair.

Which of the following research questions is too broad?
monitta

Answer:

The broad topic would be Communication Through the Ages.  Early Kingdoms narrows it down to West Africa.  A short research project could give you the info you need on USGrant.  The Mid Atlantic States are such a small portion that when you study colonization, it can be narrowed down to each colony.  Communiciation Through the Ages - is just that - a long time and a very broad subject.  From when to when?  

Explanation:

It would take a while to research all the different types of communication - and is it narrowed down to technology or can it go back even to the stone age and how people drew pictures to communicate???
