Which term means sharing and understanding another person's feelings?

• A. Resilient
• B. MyPlate
• C. Empathy
• D. Nutrients

Answer: (C)

Empathy is sharing and understanding another person's feelings. It means trying to feel what they’re going through and responding in a caring, supportive way. This involves listening, considering their perspective, and tuning into their emotions, which helps build trust and strengthen relationships. It’s different from resilience, which is about recovering from difficulties, from MyPlate, which is a dietary guide for what to eat, and from nutrients, the substances in food that provide energy and materials for the body. For example, if a friend is anxious about a test, empathy would guide you to listen and acknowledge their worry rather than dismiss it, helping them feel understood.
