Answer:

1 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The way Madame Loisel reacts to losing the necklace is rash. She spends her entire fortune and then some to replace a necklace that is fake. This brings me to point four, the revelation about the necklace being fake is ironic at best and dreadful at worst. This changes the meaning of the plot.
