Answer:
c) Monsieur Loisel
Step-by-step explanation:
In "The Necklace," Matilde's husband claims that it was difficult for him to get the invitation to the ball because they do not give away too many invitations to clerks. Besides, he believed she would be happy to see the entire official society there. However, Madame Loisel throws the invitation away, claiming that she has nothing to wear. Thus, instead of being grateful, she forces her husband to buy her a new dress, which shows that she is only interested in material things.
