Answer:
From the way this question is structured, I assume it only has one correct answer. In that case, it should be:
"Harper says doctors who read stories are more understanding and therefore, more compassionate or caring, more willing to listen to their patients' stories."
Explanation:
Interpersonal relationships are associations, connections between two or more people, varying when it comes to closeness and intimacy. For an interpersonal relationship to work smoothly, traits such as<u> empathy, compassion, caring, patience, and willingness to listen</u>, among others, are essential. They <u>allow people to truly connect by understanding one another</u>, relating to the other person's feelings.
<u>According to the article, reading stories can help develop those traits. So much so that doctors who read stories display those characteristics more easily, being more understanding toward their patients. That is what the last option tells us. Therefore, we can choose it as the option that best supports the inference that reading fiction can be beneficial to personal relationships.</u>
The correct answer is D :)
