The correct answer is option 2: Violence

Atrocity refers to an extremely cruel, violent, or wicked act, especially one involving physical violence or harm. It is often used in the context of war crimes, brutal attacks, or severe abuse. Violence closely matches this meaning, as it refers to physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill, which is central to the meaning of atrocity.

Why not the other options?

• Envy and Jealousy both refer to feelings of resentment towards others' success or possessions.

• Absurdity means something ridiculous or unreasonable, not violent or cruel.
