Answer:
2. Those who sacrifice for others are great people.
Explanation:
O Henry's short story "The Gift of the Magi" tells the story of a poor couple's decision to give up their most precious possessions just to make the other happy. The characters of Jim and Della are the perfect example of who is wise.
In the passage from the text given in the question, we see the narrator stating that though Jim and Della are "<em>two foolish children</em>", their "<em>sacrifice...... of the greatest treasures of their house"</em> made them the <em>"wisest</em>" of everyone. Jim had given up his watch to buy an ornamented comb for his wife Della while she sold her hair to get a watch chain for Jim. This way, they showed their selfless love and sacrifice for their partner.

This is also known as the "We Shall Fight on the Beaches" speech that Churchill gave during the Battle of France (which of course, the French would lose to the Nazis, who marched into Paris on June 14, 1940). Churchill was attempting to rally support from the British politicians and the people, since England too was at war with Germany. Great Britain was, in fact, on its own, since the United States would not enter the war until Japan attacked Pearl Harbor a year later.
