Unselfish love is the greatest of all gifts best states a theme from the story.

Explanation:

The Gift of the Magi is a story of incredible love between a young husband named James Dillingham Young and wife named Della.  Della, on Christmas Eve, had to sold her hair for $20 to a nearby hairdresser to buy a gift for her husband just a day before Christmas. She bought a chain for James’ watch.  

Satisfying with the gift for her husband, Della, later that night, told her husband about the gift she bought for him. Her husband gave her gift – a set of combs. This had become useless as her hair had already been shortened. Della then displayed James the chain she had bought for him, to which James mentioned he had actually sold his watch to have the required money to buy her combs.  

Although Della and James were left with the presents which neither could have used, but it made them realize how far they could really go to show their incredible love towards each other – a priceless love that had an element of sacrifice and compassion for each other.

So, Unselfish love is the greatest of all gifts best states a theme from the story.

Answer:

D. He doesn't always agree with the choices of who is honored by the public.

Explanation:

This excerpt is from Jonathan Swift's (1667 – 1745) "A Modest Proposal"<em> - A Modest Proposal for preventing the children of poor people in Ireland, from being a burden on their parents or country, and for making them beneficial to the publick.</em>

Option C is also similar to Option D, but option D better explain the situations.

From this excerpt and according to the options provided we can infer that the authors (Jonathan Swift) wants to stress on the importance of helping those children who are burden on their poor parents and country. He wants to say that this would be a real service to the public, and one which should really be appreciated.

In another sense there is also a satire in this piece of the excerpt in the usage and stress on words "fair, cheap and easy". Jonathan Swift is satirizing government's economy-centered policies. Government wants a fair, cheap and easy solution of issues which should be government's priority to solve at every cost. In fact this point of view of satire in this excerpt is more correct than the options provided.

aksik [14]
Thomas paine's common sense was important because it instigated the American colonist to fight for the independence. 
The pamphlet of common sense was written in 1776, in the time which was shaping the American revolution war. The first battle of independence happened in 1775, yet there was no firm determination among some colonist who were hoping reconciliation of any kind with Britain, because there was no serious hatred towards the monarchy system.
But, in 1776, the pamphlet published where it stated ideas on why monarchy is bad model of governing system and American colonies must be free. Thus, the common sense published in 1776 build up independence sentiments, convincing the undecided colonies for independence. After six months of the common sense publication, independence was declared in July, 1776.
