Which of the following is an example of primal empathy? A: A woman is having a conversation with a man she's just met. Within a few minutes, she begins to feel uncomfortable. When she
notices that he has moved slightly closer, she takes a step backward. Smiling, he touches her arm to emphasize a point anyway.
B: Some of your most prized photographs got destroyed in a flood. You are overwhelmed with emotion. Instead of denying your
feelings, you process them by journaling and calling your sister for a pep talk.
C: You are exhausted because you had a party at your house the previous evening and some guests stayed late. Even though you'd
rather take the day off and go back to sleep, you motivate yourself to get to work on time.
D: A friend is crying because she is moving for a new job and is sad to be leaving her friends and family. You are able to sympathize
with her combination of hopefulness, sorrow, and fear.
