"I was sorry to hear about your mother's death." Indicate the alternative that both correctly evaluates the sentence and correctly explains the reason for the evaluation.
Would it be:
(a) Lacks you-attitude because it begins with the word"I"
(b) Lacks you-attitude becauseit talks about the writer's emotion
(c) Good you-attitude because it empathizes with the reader
(d) Good you-attitude because it focuses on the writer's emotion
I chose the letter (C).
I agree with you.
Your answer (c) is correct.
The reason for this evaluation is that the sentence shows a good you-attitude because it empathizes with the reader. By expressing sympathy for the reader's loss, the sentence demonstrates understanding and concern for their emotions. This type of response shows empathy and consideration towards the person receiving the message. So, (c) is the most appropriate choice.
