Characterization, Theme, and Irony in "The Gift of the Magi"

Question 81464 • AD12-CR English 9 2014 Sem 2

Which sentence supports the inference that Jim loves Della for more than just her looks?

Answer
A
Jim drew a package from his overcoat pocket and threw it upon the table.
B
“Don’t make any mistake, Dell,” he said, “about me.”
C
“I don’t think there’s anything in the way of a haircut or a shave or a shampoo that could make me like my girl any less.”
D
“But if you’ll unwrap that package you may see why you had me going a while at first.”

Explanation

Jim says that a haircut, shave, or shampoo could not make him like Della any less. Those changes affect her appearance, so his words show that his love is not based only on her looks. The sentence in choice C directly supports the inference.
