Her __________ (empathy) expression revealed that she did not want to punish them severely.

Answer 1

The correct option is B empathetic

The noun is a name of a person, place or a thing. The adjective modifies or describes the noun. The word 'empathy' is a noun. Some words can be changed into an adjective by adding suffix - 'ic' at the end of the word and removing 'y' from the end. Thus, the adjective form of the given word is 'empathetic'.

The word 'empathetic' is modifying the noun 'expression' in the given sentence.

Hence, option B is the correct answer. Options A, C, and D are incorrect answers.
