Question

Beth sees a homeless man on the side of the road on her way into work. She buys an extra sandwich at the deli when she is at lunch and gives it to the man on her way home from work. This is an example of_____.

a.altruism.
b.egoism.
c.arrogance.
d.empathy.

Answer 1

Empathy

Step-by-step explanation:

Probably Beth thinks of herself or someone she loves being in the same situation of the homeless man. Maybe she thinks that if she was in that situation she would like someone to buy a sandwich for her. Feeling empathy is putting ourselves in others´ shoes.

It is important to mention that Beth is on her way into work, there is a possibility that Beth is thankful for having a job and THAT influences her empathy.
