Answer:
1.The friendship between Sue and Johnsy in "The Last Leaf" is especially close, despite the women not having known each other for very long. Sue is the one who cares for Johnsy during her illness and receives the updates from the doctor.
2.Johnsy was counting the leaves falling from the Ivy vine. She did this as she believed when the last leaf would fall from the wine, she would die.
3.Behrman's last painting becomes a true masterpiece because of its realism. It was so true to life that it fooled everyone, but especially Johnsy, for she was the one he had done the painting for.
4.O. Henry's "The Last Leaf " is a story of hope, friendship, and sacrifice because Sue and Mr. Behrman do not give up on restoring Johnsy's will to live. Instead, they offer their loving efforts to help Johnsy regain her health, and Mr. Behrman even sacrifices his life.
