One of the key ideas presented in the story "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry us the importance of sacrifice.
In this story, we encounter a young couple, Jim and Della, who are very short on money. However, the two love each other deeply, and want to give each other nice presents for Christmas. Without the means to buy these presents, each one of them has to sacrifice what they love most. Della sells her hair, while Jim sells his watch. However, when the two exchange the presents, they realize that Della's present was a chain for Jim's watch, while Jim's present was a set of combs for Della's hair.
The story shows that the real meaning of the gift is the sacrifice and thought that you put into it. A gift that is given with care and love is a good gift, regardless of its content.
Answer:
D) reveals
Explanation:
Reveal means to make known, which is similar to the definition of portray, or to depict.
Lady Macbeth influenced Macbeth's decision to murder Duncan by being manipulative and questioning Macbeth's status as a man. She claimed that she would have "plucked the boneless gums out of her nipple" if she had promised it to Macbeth. This prompts Macbeth to follow through with his promise when he said he would murder Duncan earlier.
She asks him if he would rather be a coward than seize an opportunity to achieve the "ornament" of life - the crown. Additionally, Lady Macbeth says that she cannot love a man who is not willing to have the integrity to do such a thing, this really persuades him as they do share a passionate bond throughout the play.
