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 do you make of the metaphor with the ants and the umbrella destroying their little house in the dirt
krek1111 [17]

Hi. You didn't submit the part of the text that features the metaphor. This makes it impossible for this metaphor to be analyzed and for an opinion to be issued. However, I will try to help you as best I can.

A metaphor is a figure of speech that presents a comparison between two elements. This comparison is made implicitly, but it is possible to see that the author of the text is establishing a relationship between the two elements. To analyze this comparison, you must locate the place in the text where this metaphor is established, you already know that this metaphor is related to the ants and the umbrella, which makes it easier for this metaphor to be located in the text.

To show your opinion about this metaphor, you must understand what is being compared in the metaphor. When you understand this, you can give your opinion on whether this comparison has deep meaning, whether it presents a lesson to the reader, whether it adds humor to the text, whether it adds a dark tone, among other things.
