his voice trembled with emotion/thrill/excitement

AngliholicWhen the old man saw his son for the first time in ten years, his voice trembled with emotion/thrill/excitement.

Do all of the bolded words fit in the above and mean about the same? Thanks.

Only 'emotion' could be used.

Hi,

I would like to add excitement to the list.

I agree with leaving 'thrill' off the list. In response to another part of your question. No, they do not mean the same thing. 'Emotion' could refer to any number of feelings, excitement being only one of them.

Thanks, my helpful friends.

But there is still one point that isn't clear to me. Doesn't "thrill" also refer to a kind of feelings? W
