Which detail from the story "the gift of the magi" best supports the inference that jim and della are barely making it by financially? "now, when the income was shrunk to $20, though, they were thinking seriously of contracting to a modest and unassuming d." "tomorrow would be christmas day, and she had only $1.87 with which to buy jim a present." "a furnished flat at $8 per week. it did not exactly beggar description, but it certainly had that word on the lookout for the mendicancy squad." "twenty dollars a week doesn’t go far. expenses had been greater than she had calculated. they always are."

I would say "Twenty dollars a week doesn’t go far. Expenses had been greater than she had calculated. They always are."

Explanation:

In this answer, it explicitly says " Expenses had been greater than she had calculated. They always are." which infers that by saying "they always are", would imply she never makes enough money to be financially fit.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
