Read this character description from "The Gift of the What inference can best be made about Della from
this description?
Madi."
Della finished her cry and attended to her cheeks with
the powder rag. She stood by the window and looked
out dully at a gray cat walking a gray fence in a gray
backyard. Tomorrow would be Christmas Day, and
she had only $1.87 with which to buy Jim a present
She is depressed about her options.
She is concerned about the stray cat in her yard,
She enjoys decorating for the holidays.
She does not like being married

The inference that we can make out of this description is that Della is a passionate animal lover who cares other more than herself. A selfless girl who sacrifice her need to complete others joy.

Another conclusion can be made from the description that she really is depressed and lack a powerful decision making skill. She herself does not know what completes her. She not know when to marry and how to cope up with emotion.

She is very excited but at the same time not knowing what to do at the moment. She is desolate and striving hard fighting the war of loneliness. Della dont express her feeling just mourning the tears of hurtful sorrow within oneself concealing world inside her small cognitive.

the correct answer is:   [d]:

              →       " fond of fighting " .

hope this !
