Question

which action is most likely the result of empathy?

• sending a get - well card
• hugging a significant other
• opening a door for a person carrying a load
• waving when you see a casual acquaintance

Explanation:

Empathy involves understanding and sharing others' feelings. Sending a get - well card shows concern for someone's (the ill person's) emotional state, as you recognize their need for well - wishes. Hugging a significant other is more about intimacy/affection. Opening a door is a courtesy/help. Waving at an acquaintance is a greeting. So sending a get - well card is most related to empathy.

Answer:

A. sending a get - well card
