Which of the following words/phrases would an empathic (empathetic) person most likely say?

That doesn't make sense to me. I can see why you'd think that. Don't be upset. That should not have made you angry. I'd feel sad if that happened to me too.

What would you do/say to the following person to stand in his/her shoes? Mary said that she's really upset because she forgot her homework at home and she's worried about getting a conduct mark.

I'd listen to Mary to see how I could help. I'd say that I would be sad too if I did my homework and forgot it. I'd also be upset to know that I'm getting a conduct mark. I'd offer to help Mary talk to the teacher to see if her parents can bring it so she won't get in trouble.

I'd say, "Billy, that was not a kind thing to say. John's a great person and you should treat him with kindness." I'd offer to be John's partner. I'd say to John, "I'm sorry Billy said that to you. I'd be upset too if someone did that to me."

What would you do/say to the following person to stand in his/her shoes? Tammy came over and invited all the girls in her class to her birthday party except for Misty.

I'd tell Tammy that she hurt Misty's feelings by not inviting her and that if she wanted me to come, she'd have to invite Misty also. I'd tell Misty that I'd feel lonely and left out too if all the other girls were invited and she wasn't. I'd ask my mom if Misty could come somewhere with me this weekend since she wasn't invited to Tammy's party.

What would you do/say to the following person to stand in his/her shoes? Julio is really shy and feels so nervous to get up and talk in front of the class. He also learned English when he moved to the country a few years ago and doesn't feel that he can speak as well as the other kids in his class.

I'd tell Julio that I'd be nervous to speak in front of a lot of people too in a language that I just learned a few years ago. I'd ask Julio if he'd like to practice speaking with me so I could help him get more comfortable. I'd tell my teacher, with his permission, that he gets nervous and see if she has other ideas to help him.
