part b
what evidence from the text supports the answer in part a?
\as emotionally intelligent people with a deep sense of empathy for our fellow man, we become better citizens, with respect for social harmony and justice.\ (paragraph 4)
\being able to understand and empathize with others is a powerful life skill, whether you are arguing with a toddler who does not want to put their shoes on or navigating a high - stakes business negotiation.\ (paragraph 1)
\studying the humanities (such as literary texts, visual arts, and music) allows students to increase their emotional intelligence by examining the thoughts and feelings that artists have expressed in their work.\ (paragraph 2)
\students engage with their own empathy and many other emotions when they connect with a character in a novel by working to understand the characters motivations and feelings.\ (paragraph 3)

Explanation:

To answer this, we need to know the answer to Part A (not provided here). However, assuming Part A was about how studying humanities increases emotional intelligence, the third option ("Studying the humanities...") directly links studying humanities to increasing emotional intelligence by examining artists' thoughts/feelings, which would support that. If Part A was about a different aspect (e.g., empathy in daily/business life, the second option; or empathy from novel characters, the fourth; or social harmony, the first), we match. But typically, if Part A was about humanities and emotional intelligence, the third is correct.

Answer:

C. "Studying the humanities (such as literary texts, visual arts, and music) allows students to increase their emotional intelligence by examining the thoughts and feelings that artists have expressed in their work." (paragraph 2)
