The following text is adapted from Guy de Maupassant’s short story The Necklace (1884). She was one of those pretty and charming girls born, as though fate had blundered over her, into a family of artisans. She had no marriage portion, no expectations, no means of getting known, understood, loved, and wedded by a man of wealth and distinction; and she let herself be married off to a little clerk in the Ministry of Education. Her tastes were simple because she had never been able to afford any other, but she was as unhappy as though she had married beneath her; for women have no caste or class, their beauty, grace, and charm serving them for birth or family, their natural delicacy, their instinctive elegance, their nimbleness of wit, are their only mark of rank, and put the slum girl on a level with highest lady in the land. According to the text, what is true about the woman described?Choose 1 answer:She wished she was born into a higher class of society.eliminateShe never wanted to get married.eliminateShe was unhappy with the simplicity of her life.eliminateShe always dreamed of starting her own business.elimin

Madame Loisel couldn't be happy with her simple life. She always wished for more, like fancy dresses and shiny jewels. Even though her husband tried to make her happy with what they had, she kept dreaming of a life of luxury. In the story "The Necklace" by Guy de Maupassant, Madame Loisel says she feels like she was born for a better life, even though she came from a family without much money. This feeling made her act without thinking, like borrowing a necklace. But this decision caused her a lot of problems later on.
