Answer 1

- Feeling empathy for- and identifying with- a fictional character.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perspective-taking is described as the process or ability of perceiving or understanding a concept or situation from a different framework or point of view(from their own) in order to gain a better understanding of the perspective, emotions, and interests of the another individual and his/her intentions.

As per the given description, 'feeling empathy for-and identifying with- a fictional character' is the kind of perspective taking that is being involved here as Samantha displays the ability to understand the emotions(pain and suffering) of the boy(beyond her own perspective) and therefore, she was able to anticipate his lines. It implies that she perceive the situation from the boy character's point of view and considers his emotions and interests.
