Answer 1

It's C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perceptive-taking is, “The ability to understand how a situation appears to another person and how that person is reacting cognitively and emotionally to the situation.”

– Gehlbach, 2004(2)

Answer 2

B

Step-by-step explanation:

How can perspective-taking help improve your reactions to people or situations?

Perspective-taking allows you to use yourself as the standard, meaning, you know how others should or should not act based on how you would behave.

Perspective-taking allows you to consider other explanations for why someone is behaving a certain way, aside from how you experience or perceive the situation.

Perspective-taking allows you to be easily convinced by the other party, so your reactions are more likely to lean in their favor.

Perspective-taking shows you all the ways in which your viewpoint was wrong, so in the future, you will behave more like the opposite.
