The correct answer is C <em>The dialogue supports the theme that knowledge is gained by taking risks, because it illustrates that the narrator makes a discovery by breaking the rules. </em>
It is justified because at the end the narrator says that his knowledge is against the law, a rule, so he must died because of that but the way he says it makes the reader feel like he does not actually care because he knows the truth. So the risk of breaking the law is compensated with knowing the truth about the gods.
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.
The correct answer is C. The evidence textual offers the information to build the main idea. It also means that they are connected but they are different. The main idea has no sense without textual evidence. So, The main idea became the main idea because of the lack of textual evidence or the lack of pieces of information for that.
