O Sorrow
O Adversity
O Consolation
O Pity
O Sympathy
The correct answer is :
O Consolation
Explanation ⦂
If we look at the flow of the sentence, we will see that here ointment is being applied to soothe the burning sensation.
An ointment is a relief substance that is used to soothe a burning sensation. If ointment is a relief substance to pacify burning, then we have to see which word would be the most appropriate word for that relief.
Since ointment is applied to soothe the burn. Burn is a symbol of sorrow, so consolation would be the most appropriate word to pacify this grief.
When a person is sad, that is the time when he is most in need of consolation, so when he is jealous, solace in the form of ointment is provided.
When ointment is applied to pacify the burning sensation, it means that the comfort of the ointment is being provided to the pain of burning. Hence consolation would be the most appropriate word.
