Best answer

  1. To get money to buy Jim a worthy Christmas present.
  2. She feared that Jim would not find her pretty with short hair.
  3. The watch had only an old leather strap instead of a chain, so he looked at it on the sly.
  4. The beautiful combs were meant for her long hair, which she had just sold.
  5. He had sold his watch to buy her combs, so both gifts were useless for now; he wanted to set the gifts aside and carry on happily with their Christmas dinner.
