Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: If Matilda had been truthful and confessed to her friend that she had lost her necklace it would have prevented them from taking the huge loan to replace the necklace that ruined their ten years of their lives.
Detailed explanation-2: -They replaced the necklace by paying eighteen thousand francs, which his father had left him and borrowing the rest of the amount from usurers and money lenders. Then they changed their lodgings and rented an attic, got rid of the maid and Mme. Loisel did the housework herself.
Detailed explanation-3: -She would have been filled with envy and frustration for the rest of her life. If Madame Loisel had not lost the necklace, she would have probably continued her life in the same fashion: always wanting for more and always dissatisfied with what she has.
Detailed explanation-4: -Ans. Matilda would have saved herself and her husband a great deal of trouble if she had made the true confession to Mme Forestier. If Matilda had been truthful with Mme Forestier, she could have known from her that the necklace was of false diamonds.
