Correct option is A
The correct answer is (a) tragic; compassion.
· A tragic story evokes feelings of compassion or sympathy for someone.
Why the other options are incorrect:
· Romantic; love: Incorrect. Romantic stories evoke love, but this is irrelevant to the context.
· Joyful; sorry: Incorrect. A "joyful" story would not make someone feel sorry.
· Sad; angry: Incorrect. "Sad" may fit, but "angry" does not align with the intended emotion.
Correct Sentence:
When he narrated his tragic story, I felt compassion for him.
