Answer:

The sentence which best describes how the setting contributes to the theme of appearance versus reality is:

4. The shabby cab, which returns Madame Loisel home, suggests that she will never fulfill her aspiration to be embraced by the wealthy on a modest income.

Explanation:

This question refers to the short story "The Necklace", which also goes by the title "The Diamond Necklace", by Guy de Maupassant, a French writer who lived from 1850 to 1893.

In the story, Madame Loisel dreams of being rich and of owning beautiful things. This desire consumes her thoughts and her days. Having a party to attend, and being dissatisfied with her own clothes and accessories, Madame Loisel borrows a diamond necklace from a wealthy friend.

When she leaves the party, she and her husband are unable to find a decent cab. They end up taking a shabby cab of the type that only goes around at night, as if "ashamed to show [its] shabbiness during the day." <u>The author chooses to give these characters only a shabby cab because he wants to contrast their appearance with their reality. Yes, they have just left a fancy party. And yes, Madame Loisel is wearing a diamond necklace (although it is actually fake, but she does not know it). However, they are still the same people they were before. Nothing has changed. They aren't wealthier all of a sudden. They will not return to a castle. They do not even own their own carriage, but need a cab to drive around.</u>

With that in mind, the best option is number 4.

Write a paragraph on “Importance of Friendship’ in our life. (120 words)
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Here you go!! Hope it helps!!!!

When we are born, we get associated with our family by blood relation. However, there is a relation, which we choose ourselves. That relation is a friend. Friends make our life beautiful. The adventure of life becomes beautiful when good friends surround us. We all belong to a family, where we have our parents, grandparents, siblings, cousins, etc. We get immense love, care, attention and guidance from our family. However, our entire life does not revolve around our family members only. We all have our own purpose in life. Some members of our family go to school, some go to college, and our parents go to work. We all have a life outside our family. No journey of life seems interesting when traveled alone. We tend to make friends outside our family boundaries as that makes all life activities enjoyable.

We connect very quickly with people with whom our interests match. Infants are playful by nature. They always look for the company with whom the can play and explore their curious nature. Hence, when they meet any other infant of their age they connect easily over their common interest of playing.

In school, we make friends over our common interests. For example, students who like playing sports like cricket connect quickly and they become friends. Friends meet and discuss their common interests and nurture their interests together. Friends in school help each other in understanding the class activities, and homework. They often exchange notes and reference materials among themselves.

During our college life, we get independence in taking many decisions on our own. Also, many live in a hostel and are hence away from their family. Studying together, staying together, nurturing interest together, adjusting to conflicts with each other, helping each other all these makes the bond of friendship stronger.

A friend highlights mistakes and guides us in many ways. They also motivate us to realize our full potential. Also, we can easily discuss and share such issues and thoughts with our friends which we cannot share with our parents.

In our professional life also, friends also help us handle failure positively and multiply our joy of success. During midlife, we have huge responsibilities for family, job, etc. Discussing professional and personal stress with our friends makes us feel relaxed. They are our mental support and when we are in crisis, a good friend joins hand and helps in solving the problem.

Because of the nuclear family structure of the current society in old age, people mostly stay alone. Friends hang out and travel together to explore various places and enjoy several hobbies together. Friends thus eliminate boredom and loneliness from life. They add color to life. They become big support for any help needed.
