- Which word best completes the sentence?

Answer 1

empathic

Answer 2

Empathic - it's the only one that's an adjective, and concern is a noun so you have to put either a noun or an adjective before it.
It's a grammar rule that most English teachers expect you to know, so they assume they shouldn't have to teach you.
