d.  They empathized with each other.

Explanation:

By "alleviating" the conflict, it means any act that tries to lessen or reduce the conflict or problems. It is an act of making things less severe, leading to a less stressful atmosphere.

In the given scenarios, scenario 1 presents a defensive communication where both parties did nothing to lessen the conflict between them. Rather, they both did their own thing and refused to think about the other. Whereas, in scenario 2, the supportive act of both Aiden and Jane in their approach towards each other shows their want and efforts to alleviate the atmosphere between them. Even though Jane gets angry at Aiden for not caring about her efforts, Aiden's promise to inform ahead in case he will be late shows his want to help her ease her anger. Both emphasized with each other, thus leading to the conflict decreasing and not becoming a major issue.

the answer is c just took the test.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
