Answer:

King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba are used as an allusion.  This allusion describes how much the watch and hair comb mean to Jim and Della.  These 2 people are not rich and they feel as rich as the Queen of Sheba.  The items are just as much as they can give each other...nothing more...no money.  These items in reality could never be "worth" all of the queen's jewels.  But, to these two lovers, it is the best gift of all.  Giving of something that means something to you, has value, and is cherished.

11111nata11111 [884]

The right answer is:

  • The recording misses opportunities to use sound effects instead of stage directions: Stage instructions are not important in an audio recording, since the movement of the actors will not be seen. For this, recording should display sound effects in place of the instructions to improve the listener's understanding.
  • The recording follows the original text instead of reinterpreting it: The recording follows the text to the letter, to let the quality of writing is followed with quality.

zlopas [31]
<span>1) Auntie Sonya wore a  d.)sorrowing expression. She was a lady who thought that life can't be good when people reach her age. The description by Iskander nicely emphasizes the mood that his character brings into story: ''She was a middle-aged woman with short hair and a look of permanent sorrow frozen on her face.''. Throughout the whole story she always seems unhappy.
</span>
2)  Uncle Shura calls the narrator a monk. He called him so because unlike his sister he follows the principles of the religion that their parents belong to. Uncle Shura said that in humoristic way, but the narrator become very offended primarily because his world of faith was destroyed in a second when his sister ate the pork.

3) The narrator's brother once jumped out a window. When he heard someone's knock at the door he realised that it is his teacher came to complain for his bad behaviour in school. When parents opened the door, the boy had already jumped out of the window in order to avoid punishment.

4) <span>The narrator thought he deserved the notebook more than his brother or sister. He became a little sad because at that time it was hard to get notebooks and he thought that kids have to deserve it. Since he was an excellent pupic he thought that all the 9 notebooks should belong to him, not to his sinful sister or his scampish brother.

5</span>) Treachery is compared to a caterpillar. When the narrator sums up all his thoughts and actions he admits that even though his sister left her principles, he was the only person that parents must blame on. And in the very last sentence he compares betrayal to a caterpillar : 'and that out of a small cocoon of petty envy, an ugly moth of betrayal can grow.'
