Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Henry is showing empathy, which is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another person. He has been through a similar experience and is offering to listen and support his friend. Supportiveness (B) is also demonstrated, but empathy is more specific to understanding the emotions of the other person. Sympathy (C) is feeling sorry or pity for another person, which is not necessarily what Henry is expressing. Selflessness (D) and embarrassment (E) are not relevant to this scenario.
