Your question is incomplete because you have not provided the answer options, which are:

beauty disappears

love is a distraction

beauty is a priceless treasure

love outweighs a physical attraction

love outweighs a physical attraction

Explanation:

In "The Gift of the Magi," by O. Henry, Jim knows that Della feels insecure because she does no longer have her beautiful long hair. For that reason, he appreciates her generosity and does not love her for the material possessions but for her true soul. Thus, he says that she is worthier than any haircut, shave or hair product.

Love outweighs physical attraction. The theme refers to a message or lesson that a piece of writing conveys about a topic that could apply to other literature or to life itself. A text may have not only one theme but several and they are not explicitly stated in the text, meaning that the reader usually has to think them through.

Explanation:

Thus, one of the themes that we can take out from this excerpt is "Love outweighs physical attraction" as the Jim's quote talks about not caring about what the girl looks like in the outside as he will like her anyway, the physical features cannot change his feelings for her.

i would pick a. i think this is more of a personal question though.
