Answer:
2. Jerome learns to translate his desire to help others into action.
Explanation:
In the short passage/ story "A Friend In Need", the character of Jerome was deeply touched by the death of his friend Martin's mother. And even though lots of people had already offered their condolences and help, posting encouraging words online. Jerome found that doing something in action is better than just posting help offers online. So, taking the advice of his mother, he went over to Martin's place taking food with him. Then, later on, he saw in the news that some family had lost their home in a fire accident. And he also saw that many people had pledged to help them in any way they can. But, he wonders if anyone would ever do it in deed, not just words. But whatever the case may be, he resolved to be there, volunteering to help in any way he can. He thus learns to translate his desire to help others into action.
