Explanation:

The excerpt shows Charlie appreciating Frank's kind offer of support, and he values this friendship/kindness. As he deteriorates, he prioritizes this over his earlier focus on intellectual gains. This matches the option of valuing kindness over intelligence.

He is starting to value kindness over intelligence.
