Answer 2

ANSWER:

He is apt to be carried away by pity.

EXPLANATION:

  Carried away is a phrase meaning  to become "overly excited" or involved and to take things too far. According to the sentence, the person gets overly excited by pity. Therefore option B is the correct answer.  

  The correct word that could be perfectly filled in the blank here is away. Because no other words from the option can be perfectly suited to be in the sentence.
