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."
