Question

select the quotation from the story that most strongly suggests that the theme is the most meaningful gifts dont have to cost a lot. she put the wrapped box in her room before leaving with her friends. however, she was relieved that she had gotten an appropriate gift. callie recalled the price she had paid, and she blushed.

Explanation:

The theme is about meaningful gifts not costing much. The first option just describes an action of putting a box. The second option is about relief of getting an appropriate gift but doesn't relate to cost. The third option, Callie recalling the price (implying it might be low) and blushing (could be due to the significance despite low cost) is more related to the theme.

Answer:

Callie recalled the price she had paid, and she blushed.
