Archery Rivals
Ellie took pride in her archery skills. Among the 40 members of
Greenville School's Archery Club, she was the only one who
could hit a target 50 meters away.
During the second term, a new student, Ripley, joined the
archery club. On her first day, Ripley proved that she was just
as good as Ellle. The instructor even believed that she could
perform better than Ellie. Gradually, Ripley took over Elle's
position as the top archer of the school.
Finally, the day of the state archery tournament arrived, and
with the field crowded with spectators, Ripley stepped out to
begin hitting her marks. As expected, she quickly climbed the
Scoreboards, with Ellie following closely behind. However, no
one realized that Ellie had secretly been practicing for the final
50-meter round. When the final round was over, everyone was
astonished. Ellie had struck a perfect bull's-eye on all five
attempts. She was the state champion!
Everyone rushed to congratulate Ellie on her victory. She
walked over to her rival, who was standing alone in a corner
Ellie took Ripley's hand and thanked her. If it had not been for
her, Ellie would have never trained so hard.
Over the next several years, Ellie and Ripley continued their
rivalry. But when they were not on the field, they were the best

Read the following excerpt from “The Gift of the Magi” and answer the question. For there lay The Combs--the set of combs, side and back, that Della had worshipped long in a Broadway window. Beautiful combs, pure tortoise shell, with jewelled rims--just the shade to wear in the beautiful vanished hair. They were expensive combs, she knew, and her heart had simply craved and yearned over them without the least hope of possession. And now, they were hers, but the tresses that should have adorned the coveted adornments were gone. But she hugged them to her bosom, and at length she was able to look up with dim eyes and a smile and say: "My hair grows so fast, Jim! And them Della leaped up like a little singed cat and cried, "Oh, oh!" Jim had not yet seen his beautiful present. She held it out to him eagerly upon her open palm. The dull precious metal seemed to flash with a reflection of her bright and ardent spirit."Isn't it a dandy, Jim? I hunted all over town to find it. You'll have to look at the time a hundred times a day now. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it." Instead of obeying, Jim tumbled down on the couch and put his hands under the back of his head and smiled."Della," said he, "let's put our Christmas presents away and keep 'em a while. They're too nice to use just at present. I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs. And now suppose you put the chops on." The magi, as you know, were wise men--wonderfully wise men--who brought gifts to the Babe in the manger. They invented the art of giving Christmas presents. Being wise, their gifts were no doubt wise ones, possibly bearing the privilege of exchange in case of duplication. And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house. But in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest. O all who give and receive gifts, such as they are wisest. Ev
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.

Answer: The author is emphasizing the sense of loss that Della must feel when she realizes she can’t use them.
Explanation:
The purpose of the author’s description of the beauty of the combs is that the author is emphasizing the sense of loss that Della must feel when she realizes she can’t use them.
From the excerpt, Della has always admired the combs which she had worshipped in a Broadway window. She adores them and believed that it will be perfect for her hair.
Eventually Jim got it for her but the tresses that should have adorned the coveted adornments were gone. Here, the author described how beautiful and adorable the combs were to show how Della must have really felt bad that she won't be able to use them.
