At the end of the semester, Andrea has to give an oral report in front of the whole class. She practices, but when she stands up, she gets so nervous she drops all of her notes. She is embarrassed and cannot seem to put them back in the proper order. After the presentation, she whispers to her classmate, "This is the worst day ever. I am so embarrassed.”
What response would express empathy toward Andrea?
“Hopefully you will still get a good grade.”
“I don’t think anyone was paying attention anyway.”
“That looked really painful. Do you want to talk?”
“Next time, have a backup plan.”
