Answer: A. Perspective means a mental view. From her perspective, you are at fault.

The word root "spect" means to "see." This root is the basis for many English words that are related to vision, such as spectacle, spectator and inspect. In this case, "perspective" is a word that derives from this root and that refers to the mental view of a particular person.
