Which line demonstrates heroism and compassion through action?

• A. He hesitated to intervene, fearing danger.
• B. He ran into a burning building to rescue someone.
• C. Her desk was neat, with pens aligned.
• D. People whispered about his bravery as he spoke.

Answer: (B)

Taking action in a dangerous moment to help someone else is what shows true heroism paired with compassion. The line where someone runs into a burning building to rescue another demonstrates this clearly: it turns concern into a concrete, selfless act, even at great personal risk. Courage here isn’t just thinking or talking about helping; it’s putting it into practice when someone needs it most. The other lines don’t show this combination of risk-taking to aid someone in distress: hesitating reveals inaction; a neat desk is unrelated to helping; rumors about bravery reflect perception rather than actual help. So the line where a person enters danger to save someone embodies heroism and compassion through action.
