What do you think the narrator of “The Gift of the Magi” considers as having real value? the protagonists' poverty
the protagonists' wisdom
the protagonists' possessions
the protagonists' love for each other

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Answer: Love for each other. The fact that both people gave up something or special value to the other for love profoundly states that they are willing to make great sacrifices for each other. Their poverty, wisdom, and possessions do not hold great value. It was poverty that made them sacrifice. Wisdom did not play a role. And possessions are of no regard to the characters.

Hi! The answer would be option D. Language that respects differences but confidently asserts and provides convincing support

Explanation:

The answer is language that respect differences because that's the right approach when the other person disagrees qith your position.

Language that creates an antagonistic tone is not the answer because it does not allow views to be contrasted and that's the main purpose in an argument with someone who has a different opinion than you.

Language that dismisses the other person's opinions are bad because of the same thing. They do not allow arguments to be contrasted.
