Answer:
To show that cruel behavior is not limited to only one situation.
Explanation:
Elie Weisel's memoir Night tells his experiences during the Holocaust and the discrimination the Jews faced at the hands of the German Nazis. The book also became one of the most famous and important pieces of information about one of the most horrendous genocides in the world's history.
As seen in the given excerpt, the author narrates how he had witnessed a "stampede" kind of situation among the prisoners over a small piece of bread that a worker had thrown into the wagon. And similar to this event, he also recollects how an elegant Parisian lady had done "charity" work by throwing coins to the natives on the Aden which only led to the "natives" diving into the water to retrieve them. These two scenes seemed so similar to each other, leading Weisel to conclude that cruel behavior is not limited to just a single situation but could also be seen in numerous ones, however unlike they may seem.

Answer:
3. The excerpt is an example of situational irony, as Jim has sold the watch for which Della bought a chain.
Explanation:
Irony is the use of language in such a way that the intended meaning of the words is expressed through the use of another opposite expression or words. This rhetorical device presents a situation as something but what the reality is, is a much different thing.
In the given excerpt from O Henry's short story <em>The Gift of the Magi</em>, the scene is that of situational irony. <u>Situational irony occurs when the expected outcome is not what happened but rather the opposite happens. </u>Likewise, the scene is a situational irony for both the characters of Jim and Della wanted to please each other with their gifts. But both ended up selling the very thing that the other person has bought the gift for. <u>Della sold her hair to buy a watch chain for Jim while Jim sold his watch to buy an ornamental comb for Della's hair.
</u>
Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
