Explanation:

In the statement, Roger Chillingworth mentions "sympathy" (a connection or intuition), seeing the person tremble, and feeling himself shudder. This implies an intuitive, sensory - based discovery rather than force (no mention of violence), paying a ransom (no such context), or pleading (no indication of asking Hester repeatedly).

Answer:

He will use his sensory abilities to intuitively discover the father of Hester's child.
