How kansas is pronounced can-zass then why isn’t arkansas pronounced the same

Hey there!

It's all about the phonics. Some letters make different sounds with different suffixes and prefixes. The "Ar" in front of the "kansas" may change the sound of the word.

Hope this helped, have a great day :)

The answer is:

In "The Necklace," by Guy de Maupassant, Mathilde Loisel could have bought a fake or less expensive necklace to attend the ball.

In the question about the short story "The Necklace," you must provide different alternatives that the characters could have made, so that it would change the ending. Because Mrs. Loisel borrows Madame Forestier's necklace and then loses it, she must spend years living in misery to afford the necklace, which was actually fake.
