Respuesta :

D. "Yes, I have had some hard days since I saw you; and some miserable ones-and al because of you."

Answer:

C. "Mrs. Loisel now knew the horrible life of necessity. She did her part . . . heroically."

Explanation:

This sentence explains how Matilda faced the world after losing the necklace. Knowing that she had lost a necklace that she could not afford to replace, Matilda had to work extremely hard her whole life in order to repay the loan she had taken to replace the necklace. This meant that she struggled economically for the rest of her life. She knew "a life of necessity." However, we learn that her character changed because she "did her part." This means that she took responsibility for her actions and did what she had to do.
