Answer 2

Answer:

B.) Soften

Explanation:

The word mollify means to pacify or conciliate someone's anger or fear, to alleviate these feelings. These are strong feelings so it can be considered that the person would be softening them. In this example, it means that time hadn't' done anything for the hate Chillingworth felt for Reverend Dimmesdale.
