The audience laughed hysterically at the comedian's joke.

a: without real emotion
b: full of energy
c: in a way that cannot be controlled
d: in a pleasant way

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

1) The answer to your question would be "conductor" (d). That is, the sentence would be as follows: The conductor held his baton while the orchestra waited for his signal. The orchestra needs to be directed by someone, so "conductor" is the right answer.

2) The word set that completes the analogy is the following one: Retain: release (a). First of all, "misplace" means "put an object in the wrong place and so lose it temporarily" and "regain" means "obtain possession or use of again after losing it". Therefore, retain/release completes the analogy because the first one means "continue to have, keep possession of" and "release" means "allow or enable to escape from confinement, set free".

3) The word "histerically" means "in a way that cannot be controlled" (c). "Histerically" means "with widly uncontrolled emotion".

Answer 2
Answer: 1. Your answer is D. Conductor. The CONDUCTOR held his baton while the orchestra waited for his signal.
2. Your answer is A. Retain : release. So - Misplace : regain :: retain : release.
3. In the sentence "The audience laughed hysterically at the comedian's joke," the word "hysterically" means C. in a way that cannot be controlled.

Your coworker Kevin is sitting quietly at his desk. He is obviously upset. To show him empathy, you should ______.

Answers

You should "tell him you've also had bad days and asked him how may you help him out".

Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another individual. In this case, by telling that person you've also felt upset before due to bad days, you are setting common ground with him or her. This will make that person feel understood and aided as you also ask if you could help him or her out with something.

Ask him what's wrong and sympathize with him (if it's something that happened to you)
