Answer 2

Answer:

Option D is the answer.

Explanation:

The question refers to The Necklace, a short story written by Guy de Maupassant, a French writer. It narrates the story of Mathilde Loisel and a diamond necklace she borrowed after a friend had invited her to a party. Since Mathilde has always desired to belong to the upper class, it is very important for her to give good impressions even though she cannot afford to live like that. The necklace is very important because it will help her blend into the crowd and look like someone from the upper class.
