The excerpt that best represents the central conflict of “The Gift of the Magi” is:


“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.”



In the short story “The Gift of the Magi” written by O. Henry, Jim and Della, a poor young couple, wanted to buy each other a great Christmas gift. Della saved little money by selling her hair to buy Jim a chain for his watch, not realizing that Jim sold that watch to buy her a comb for her hair because he loved her hair so much.

A is the only possible answer. The article does not have any information about the number of RunTex stores in town, how to be part of Marathon Kids, or the history of child marathon runners. Summaries of an article should not include information that the article does not contain. The only information contained in the article that is also an answer choice is the site of the Final Mile Medal Celebration.
