C. No One - The Name Has No Meaning C. No One - The Name Has No Meaning

The document appears to be a reading comprehension quiz about the short story "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry. It asks 10 multiple choice questions to test the reader's understanding of key details in the story, such as how much money the character Delia has at the beginning, what gift she wants to buy for her husband Jim, how she raises the money by selling her hair, and Jim's reaction to her cut hair. The questions also cover that both Delia and Jim sold their most prized possessions to buy Christmas gifts for each other, even though the gifts could no longer be enjoyed.
