Answer:
1. The author is emphasizing the sense of loss that Della must feel when she realizes she can’t use them.
Explanation:
O. Henry's short story "The Gift of the Magi," tells the story of a young couple and their selfless sacrifice to make each other happy. The story deals with themes of generosity, love, selfless acts, and consideration for others, etc.
In the given excerpt from the story, the author talks of the sacrifice that Della and Jim had made to make way for the other person's happiness. Even though Della wanted to get the comb with "pure tortoise shell", she decided to sell her hair and get Jim a gift instead.
And in describing the beauty of the combs, the author wants to emphasize the sense of loss that Della must feel when she realizes that the combs are of no use for her.
Thus, the correct answer is option 1.
Their house was even more elaborate than I expected, a cheerful red-and-white Georgian Colonial mansion, overlooking the bay. The lawn started at the beach and ran toward the front door for a quarter of a mile, jumping over sun-dials and brick walks and burning gardens—finally when it reached the house drifting up the side in bright vines as though from the momentum of its run. The front was broken by a line of French windows, glowing now with reflected gold and wide open to the warm windy afternoon, and Tom Buchanan in riding clothes was standing with his legs apart on the front porch. Based on this description of the Buchanans’ house, what inference can be made about many East Egg residents?
This question is missing the answer choices. I was able to find the complete question online. Since the excerpt is the same, I will omit it. The choices are as follows:
Based on this description of the Buchanans' house, what inference can be made about many East Egg residents?
A. They hide their unattractive qualities beneath beautiful, light, and dreamy appearances.
B. They commonly ride horses in the afternoon or early evening hours.
C. They are more sophisticated than West Egg residents, because they have less money.
D. They place more importance on the appearance of their homes than in anything else.
Answer:
Based on the description, the inference we can make is:
A. They hide their unattractive qualities beneath beautiful, light, and dreamy appearances.
Explanation:
This question refers to "The Great Gatsby," a novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940), one of the greatest American authors of the 20th century. This novel explores themes such as the moral decadence of the American society as well as the corruption of the American dream.
In the excerpt we are analyzing here, the narrator, Nick, is describing the Buchanans' home. Nick is cousin to Daisy Buchanan, who is married to Tom, an "old money" millionaire. The grandeur of their mansion, its beauty and opulence, is nothing but a façade. Those who live inside it are shallow, egotistical, unfaithful people. Tom and Daisy, along with their friend Jordan Baker, live their days trying to escape boredom. To do so, they party, they cheat, and they gossip. Their manners and values are tainted, and their happiness is fake.
With that in mind, we can choose letter A as the best inference:
A. They hide their unattractive qualities beneath beautiful, light, and dreamy appearances.
Answer:A. They hide their unattractive qualities beneath beautiful, light, and dreamy appearances
Explanation: got the answer right

On Edg: Read the excerpt from "Mother Tongue."
Just last week, I was walking down the street with my mother, and I again found myself conscious of the English I was using, the English I do use with her. We were talking about the price of new and used furniture and I heard myself saying this: “Not waste money that way.” My husband was with us as well, and he didn’t notice any switch in my English. And then I realized why. It’s because over the twenty years we’ve been together I’ve often used that same kind of English with him, and sometimes he even uses it with me. It has become our language of intimacy, a different sort of English that relates to family talk, the language I grew up with.

The correct answer is C. Parallelism.
Explanation
Parallelism is a stylistic device that is based on the repetition of words and sentences in a text. According to the above, in the first lines of President John F. Kennedy's inaugural speech, the resource of parallelism is used because the expression "as well as" is repeated to emphasize the idea of renewal and a new beginning that it meant this government. "symbolizing an end as well as a beginning - signifying renewal as well as change". So the correct answer is C

(1 - 3). Choose the word whose underlined part is pronounced differently from that of the others:
1. A. instead B. head C. eat D. weather 2. A. replace. B. raise C. badly D. save
3. A. caused B. promised C. advertised D. raised
Answer:
1). C). Eat
2). C). Badly
3). C). Advertised
Explanation:
Pronunciation plays a key role in determining the meaning of the words especially when they contain similar sounds. The words whose underlined portions pronounce differently are mentioned above.
In the first question, the words 'instead,' 'head,' and 'weather,' the morpheme '-ea' is pronounced similarly as 'e^.' While in 'eat,' it is pronounced as 'i:t.' Thus, 'eat' possesses a distinct pronunciation among the words provided in the group.
In the second, the sound of '-a' is similarly pronounced in 'save,' 'replace,' and 'raise' as 'ei.' However, in the word 'badly,' 'a' has a deeper sound as 'ae' and it is pronounced in a different manner. Hence option C is the correct answer.
Similarly, in the last question, the words 'caused,' 'promised,' and 'raised' read the participle suffix '-ed' in the same manner as ';zed' while 'advertised' is pronounced as '-aized.' Hence, it has a varied sound and thus, option C is correct again.

difference between finite and non finite verbs
Explanation:
The main difference between finite and nonfinite verbs is that finite verbs act as the main verb whereas nonfinite verbs or verbals don't act as a verb in a sentence
Answer:
Finite verb forms show tense, person and number (I go, she goes, we went, etc.)
Non-finite verb forms do not show tense, person or number. Typically they are infinitive forms with and without to (e.g. to go, go)
