Read the excerpt from "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry.

Only $1.87 to buy a present for Jim. Her Jim. Many a happy hour she had spent planning for something nice for him. Something fine and rare and sterling-something just a little bit near to being worthy of the honor of being owned by Jim.

What inferences about Della can be made based on this excerpt? Check all that apply.

Della does not have much money to spend on Jim's gift.

Della wants to buy Jim a watch chain for his watch.

Della loves her husband, Jim, very much.

    You don't know from the excerpt that she needs to sell her hair and you also don't know that she is going to buy a watch chain. Both of those things are revealed in the larger text but not in the excerpt.
