“The dancing girl was rich.” Do you agree with this opinion? Justify your answer by quoting the text.

Answer»

“The dancing girl was rich.” We agree with this opinion, because she was proud of her beauty and wealth. Her feet were those thinking with anklets. This means her chains around the anklets were making a pleasant metallic sound. She was starred with jewels. This means precious or naments were on her body. They were shining like stars.
