D.Empathy for other people's feelings

Empathy for other people's feelings can help you to think about and respect the ideas of others when establishing common ground with your opponent.

Empathy refers to the ability to share someone else's feelings or experiences by imagining what it would be like to be in that person's situation.

Empathy is the capacity to understand or feel what another person is experiencing from within their frame of reference. To put it simply, the capacity to place oneself in another's position.

a question like this requires the excerpt to be included in order to answer the question.

the sentence that best describes the tone of the passage from the radio broadcast compared to the passage from the book is b. the radio broadcast has a more surprised tone.

consider the text evidence: in the passage from the book, the description is more matter-of-fact. it is simply describing the things resembling little grey snakes, but there is no urgency in the description. on the other hand, in the passage from the radio broadcast, there is definetely urgency (you can tell from the expression used, "good heavens", which clearly indicates surprise.)
