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.

mixer [17]
<span>Act V, scene I, is a moment of utter chaos. Some of the characters surrounding Viola think she is Sebastian, while others think she is Cesario. This case of mistaken identity sets in motion a series of complex situations. Viola is bewildered by other people’s reactions to her. Antonio mistakes Viola/Cesario for Sebastian and accuses her of stealing his money. Olivia thinks Viola/Cesario is tricking her by feigning ignorance about their marriage. She calls in the priest to testify, and Viola/Cesario earns the wrath of Orsino for allegedly breaking his trust. Sir Andrew wrongly thinks Viola/Cesario was in the duel that injured him, and he accuses her of attacking him. These complications all stem from Viola’s disguise. However, just as matters seem to be getting out of hand, Sebastian enters, and the problems are resolved.</span>
