The Gift of the Magi:  

The ironic thing in “The Gift of the Magi” is that the husband gives up his most cherished treasure a watch, so he can buy her a comb/hairpiece for her hair. She gives up her most cherished treasure, her hair, to buy a chain for his watch.  Its ironic because they both gave up something that they cherished most event though the things they sold it for were just things/possessions.  What is important is there love for each other and that should outweigh everything else.

The Necklace:

The irony in "The Necklace" is that the woman borrows a necklace from her friend and loses. So the woman got buys a replacement for a lot of money.  Only to find out the original necklace was a cheap fake. The ironic thing is if she would have just told her friend then she wouldn’t have had to spend money and replace it.

Which quotation best gives empirical evidence supporting the central idea that the Indians’ working conditions were similar to s
Andrei [34K]

(D)- “Their lives were completely controlled by the terrifying overseers.”

This is the best answer to the question. It shows that the Indians' working conditions were similar to slavery because it indicates that the Indians did not have control over their own lives. Slaves did not have control over their own lives either. Options B and C are not correct because they both show that the Indians were paid for their work and slaves did not receive any payment for their labor. Option A is also not the best answer because slaves usually did not work in factories. They often had jobs in the fields or in the main house.

How are the sentence patterns for asking questions different from the sentence patterns for making statements
AleksandrR [38]
In the sentence pattern for asking questions, the subject is placed immediately after the operator (Operator [did, does, was] + Subject) while in the sentence pattern for making statements, the subject is placed before the verb phrase (Subject + VP). However, some statements may be in question form (You've already eaten?) and some questions (such as rhetorical ones) may be in statement form (Haven't you peed already?).
