Correct Answer: generous


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation : In this context, the word "generous" complements the noun "sympathy" effectively. "Generous sympathy" suggests a broad and ample capacity for understanding, compassion, and kindness. It conveys the idea that she possesses a considerable and open-hearted attitude towards others. The use of "generous" in this sentence emphasises the abundance and warmth of her sympathy.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Mean : This term means unkind, spiteful, or stingy.

  • Sparing : This term means economical, restrained, or not abundant.

  • Thrifty : This term means showing a careful use of money or resources.

So, the correct sentence would be: "She has a large, generous sympathy and absolute fairness of temper."
