Its D because the word empathize is an action shes taking with the children. Closer is a noun, glacial is an adjective, and contentment is a noun. Only leaves empathize because its an act of understanding or, sharing the feelings for another. :) Your welcome! Hope you pass!

The correct option is D. Empathize is the verb.

A suffix is defined as a letter or group of letters that may be added at the end of a word and have meaning. A derivational suffix is a sort of suffix that creates a new word; this new word is derived from the base word.

A root word lacks prefix or suffix. It's the most basic part of a word. In this case the root word would be empathy.
