Respuesta :

Answer:

I think it is c but I am not positive

Explanation:

I know it is not a or b because if you have ever read gift of the magi you will understand that this has nothing to do with the underlying conflict. I believe it to be c because if you once again have ever read the short story she is very upset because she can't get a great gift for her husband.

Please let me know if this helped or not

I'm pretty sure that the answer is C
