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.

What did Chavez believe about the rights of humanity?
amm1812

Answer:

Mexican-American farmworker, labor leader and civil rights activist César Chávez brought about better conditions for agricultural workers. Born on his family’s farm near Yuma, Arizona, Chávez witnessed the harsh conditions farm laborers endured. Routinely exploited by their employers, they were often unpaid, living in shacks in exchange for their labor, with no medical or other basic facilities. Without a united voice, they had no means to improve their position. Chávez changed that when he dedicated his life to winning recognition for the rights of agricultural workers, inspiring and organizing them into the National Farm Workers Association, which later became the United Farm Workers. Through marches, strikes and boycotts, Chávez forced employers to pay adequate wages and provide other benefits and was responsible for legislation enacting the first Bill of Rights for agricultural workers. For his commitment to social justice and his lifelong dedication to bettering the lives of others, Chávez was posthumously recognized with the highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom
