What does dellas actions of cutting her to buy jim a gift reveal about her character and her relationship with him ?

if this is about the gift of the magi, it shows that della is selfless and would rather jim be happy instead of herself.

answer: inference

explanation:

an inference can be understood as a conclusion to which a person is able to get based on reasoning. it is the same as a deduction, a guess, an assumption.   in the sentence presented, the conjunction "but" gives the readers an idea of contrast, and, therefore, allows them to induce that despite the opponent's characteristics, andrea had something different that made her win.
