Mary is the recipient of ‘Empathy’.

Explanation :

Empathy means to be in another person’s shoes and try to understand what they are going through.

Empathy is of three kinds – cognitive, emotional and compassionate.  

Mary is the recipient of primarily the third kind.  

Generally, when someone relates a harrowing experience, he/she expects you not only to understand what you are going through or a similar emotional experience in return. What they expect you to do is to take some action to mitigate the trouble.

Here when Mary relates her tale of distress to her friend, she is compassionate enough to understand what she is going through and in order to make her feel better, she hugs her and showers praise upon her.

It is more sincere than sympathy. She feels sympathy and shows empathy.

the correct answer is "dissent"

explanation:

because dissent is when one or more judges express disagreement with the majority in court, in specific legal systems.   an   argument in opposition is presented to the court, with a different interpretation, or application.
