The feud between the Montagues and the Capulets is the cause of Romeo and Juliet's deaths, and probably their romance as well. If there were no feud, the two families would have moved in the same circles, and Romeo and Juliet would have known each other all their lives.
I would estimate that the first one is the answer.
I looked up the summary(s) for both the passages, and 'to build a fire' is about a guy who despite everything being against him, being persistent and dying because of his actions, while 'gumption' is about the hardships of african americans.
Of course, this is just my estimation.

O. Henry's short story The Gift of the Magi is about love and sacrifice. Della and Jim love each other and sacrifice hair and watch, respectively.
<h3>Who are Della and Jim?</h3>
Della and Jim are the main characters of the short story where they both sacrifices their most precious things for each other. The couple wanted to gift each other and sell their most treasured thing to buy the gift.
Della cuts and sells her hair to buy a platinum fob chain for Jim's gold watch while on the other hand, Jim sells his watch to buy a set of ornamental combs. Though their gifts were not usable they showed their love and sacrifice for each other.
Therefore, Della sacrifices her hair and Jim his watch.

The answer is: it is about evolution.
Darwin himself characterized his seminal book, <em>On the origin of the species, </em>as “one long argument”. There is still debate as to what exactly did he mean by that characterization, but it is agreed upon that he evidently was referencing his theory of evolution based on common ancestry between species and natural selection as the process of differentiation between them, which, all in all, tells a story that took millions of years, or, in more poetic terms, it summarizes a very long argument.
