Answer :

In O. Henry's "The Gift of the Magi," despite loving her long hair, Della cuts it and sells it. The following reasons motivated her to take this step :

a. her selfless love for Jim  

d. her wish to buy a Christmas present for Jim  

The following lines from the story give the answer to the question.

"Only $1.87 to buy a present for Jim. Her Jim. Many a happy hour she had spent planning for something nice for him. Something fine and rare and sterling—something just a little bit near to being worthy of the honor of being owned by Jim. "

Della is a loving person and there is nothing more she loves in this world than her husband Jim. She has been saving for months in order to buy a decent Christmas present for her husband.

Which sentence uses the active voice? my research paper was finished two days early. my research paper is being finished two day
Minchanka [31]
"I finished my research paper two days early."

A good way to determine active vs passive is to ask who performed the action. Did the subject perform the action, or was the action performed "by" the subject?

The subject performs the action in this sentence:

I = [subject]
finished = [action]
my research paper = [thing on which the action was performed]

In the other examples, the subject has an action performed on it. 

My research paper = [subject]
was finished/is being finished = [action]
two days early = [time frame information, not really important for the discussion here]

At this point, you have no indication as to who will finish the paper, do you? No. You assume that the paper will be completed "by me," but it could just as easily be completed "by my friend."

If you can add "by [person/thing]" to a sentence, it's passive voice. If you can't, it's not. Clearly, you would never say "I finished my research paper by me."
