Read the excerpt from "The Gift of the Magi."

English

Answer:

In this excerpt, Jim's character is developed:

A. Indirectly, through his lack of action.

Explanation:

"The Gift of the Magi" is a short story by American author O. Henry first published in 1905. Jim and Della, the characters, are a married couple. They have no money to buy each other gifts, so they both make sacrifices. However, what one sacrifices interferes in the gift of the other. Della sells her hair to buy a beautiful chain for Jim's watch. Jim sells his watch to buy beautiful combs for Della's long hair.

<u>In the excerpt we are analyzing here, Jim's character is developed through his lack of action. We do not know what he is thinking or feeling. He does not say or do anything. He just stands there, and that is enough to build tension. This is the moment he sees Della's short hair for the first time. Della and the readers are anxious about his reaction, but the reaction does not come.</u>

It is only later that we understand he was speechless because he realized the gifts they had bought for one another could not be worn by any.

¿Cuáles son las dos categorías de sentencias que pueden terminar con un signo de exclamación?
max2010maxim [7]

Respuesta: Exclamaciones e interjecciones.

Explicación: Una exclamación (también llamada interjección) muestra la emoción o los repentinos estallidos de sentimientos como: emoción, alegría, sorpresa o disgusto del hablante o autor. Estas palabras o frases pueden estar solas o ubicarse antes o después de una oración.

Las exclamaciones varían en longitud de una frase simple como ¡Buenos días! a una oración completa.

Una interjección se usa más comúnmente en el lenguaje informal que en la escritura formal o el habla. Algunos ejemplos son: ¡Eww! ¡Agradable! ¡Felicidades! ¡Hurra! ¡Hola! uch! Oh! ¡Qué asco! ¡Yahoo! Eek!

Other events associated with mass hysteria include
klio [65]

Answer: McCarthyism

Explanation:

McCarthyism was a practice that led to mass hysteria in the United States as it augmented a period known as the Second Red Scare, a fear that Communism was taking root in the United States and spreading into all forms of American life.

U.S. senator Joseph McCarthy seized upon this fear and made wild accusations of treason and subversion in relation to communism and dragged many prominent Hollywood names and scientists to hearings that soiled their names.

This period came to an end when McCarthy overreached his influence and suggested that President Truman was a Communist. This as well as opposition from Chief Justice Earl Warren led to him losing support thereafter and the period fading out.
