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: -Once Madame loses the necklace and realizes she must replace it, she becomes a shell of her former self. Her and her husband must take out loans, work more hours, and move to a smaller apartment.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Mathilde Loisel dreams of being rich and is self-conscious about her middle-class status. She borrows Madame Forestier’s necklace to wear to a ball but loses it, then spends the next decade working to pay off the replacement, sacrificing her beauty and youth.
