PART B: Which TWO details from the text best support the answer to Part A?

Answer to Part A : B. While empathy encourages caring feelings towards others, it alone does not drive people to act on their feelings in the same way as a sense of responsibility.

A. “School leaders try to attract a diverse set of students so each can understand what it’s like to walk in the others’ shoes.” (Paragraph 1)

B. “Empathy makes you more aware of other people’s suffering, but it’s not clear it actually motivates you to take moral action or prevents you from taking immoral action.” (Paragraph 4)

C. “Moreover, Prinz argues, empathy often leads people astray. It influences people to care more about cute victims than ugly victims.” (Paragraph 9)

D. “It has become a way to experience delicious moral emotions without confronting the weaknesses in our nature that prevent us from actually acting upon them

Option B states that empathy makes you aware of people's suffering, but might not lead you to act on it in a moral way. This supports the answer to part A which states that empathy encourages caring feelings, but does not necessarily drive people to action.

Option D argues that empathy has become a way to feel sadness or other similar emotions, but without having to question our inability to act upon them. This is also consistent with the answer to part A, which states empathy does not necessarily lead to action.

Answer:

The answers is letter B and D

Explanation:

The letter B says that empathy makes you aware of the suffering of other people. This reinforces the response of part A that empathy generates a sense of care. In addition, the letter B says that this awareness of suffering, does not cause you to take moral or immoral actions, which reinforces the response of part A that says that, alone empathy does not lead people to act according to their feelings .

The letter D talks about the feelings that empathy generates, without requiring you to take action on those feelings, and this also reinforces the response from Part A that empathy alone does not lead people to act according to their feelings.
