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.
A peripeteia occurs when the audience expects one thing but something else happens
Answer:
(The whole question can be seen in the Attachment)
(a) Plan A , $6
(b) 160 minutes, Plan B
Explanation:
<h2>
(a) </h2>
If Chris makes 40 mins of calls for the month, which plan costs less?
In the graph, it can clearly be seen that for 40 mins, Plan A costs $4 while Plan B costs $10. So Plan A costs less.
How much less does it cost than the other plan?
Plan B cost $10 while Plan A costs $4. So Plan A costs $10-$4=$6 less than plan B
<h2>(b)</h2>
For what number of minutes both plans have the same cost?
We can see from the graph that both plans A and B coincide at 160 mins where the cost of both plans become $16
If the time spent on calls is more than this amount, which plan cost less?
Plan B costs less after time spent on call exceeds 160 mins.
