For More Understanding
Explanation
The River's tone is sympathising because it notices Jahnavi crying and speaks to her with concern, saying 'You shouldn't cry, you know' and 'You really shouldn't be scared.' The River shows understanding and compassion for Jahnavi's situation, which indicates a sympathising tone rather than an assuring one.
