We all have ______ the widowed girl.

Option 1: Sympathy at

Option 2: Sympathy for

Option 3: Sympathy with

Option 4: Sympathy of

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Sympathy for


Solution : The second option is the correct answer: "sympathy for."

The appropriate preposition to use with "sympathy" is "for." 

"Sympathy at" is not a common phrase in English.

"Sympathy with" can be used in some contexts, but it doesn't fit well in this sentence. 

"Sympathy of": "Sympathy of" is not the correct choice in this context.

The sentence would be: "We all have sympathy for the widowed girl."

56 A 102 C 30 D 6 B 7 = ?

Option 1: 134

Option 4: 151

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 123

On replacing the letters with the assigned mathematical signs, the equation becomes –

= 56 + 102 – 5 × 7
= 56 + 102 – 35
= 158 – 35 = 123

So, 123 is the required answer. Hence, the second option is correct.
