Question

Using your knowledge of roots, choose the best word to complete the following sentence:

Answer 1

1- Mark had a gift for EMPATHY; he seemed to be able to relate to anyone’s pain and sorrow.

Empathy is the ability to perceive, share and understand what another being can feel, worrying about other people's experiences.

2- Over the summer, many people plan to travel to exotic places, and play at the beach.  

This sentence is correctly puntuated, as the commas are placed in the correct spaces, separating different ideas into the same sentence.

3- In the extract the word I is used too many times, which ends up being repetitive. It could go from active voice to passive voice to avoid repetition.

4- Being "is good at listening and feeling my pain" the underlined words, the word I would use would be EMPATHETIC.

5- A synonym for “faithfulness” is FIDELITY

6- I never thought I would have to write and deliver the EULOGY of anyone, let alone my best friend.  

Answer 2

1.    Mark had a gift for empathy; he seemed to be able to relate to anyone’s pain and sorrow. 

2.    Over the summer, many people plan to travel to exotic places, and play at the beach. 

3.    The short excerpt uses “I” repeatedly. I would suggest that she erases the repeated “I” and replace them with something else.

4.    I am guessing that the underlined is “good at listening and feeling my pain”? I would suggest to replace that with the word “sentimental.”

5.    A synonym for “faithfulness” is fidelity.

6.    I never thought I would have to write and deliver the eulogy of anyone, let alone my best friend.
