C

Explanation:

For the first blank, we need to find a word whose definition is essentially "to conceive of another's emotional state", and for the second blank, we need to find a word whose definition is "allows you to see a situation from another viewpoint".

Let's define all the words given:

- "perspective": one's way of viewing something - basically, your viewpoint of a certain issue

- "empathy": being able to understand another's emotions

- "understanding": comprehending another's situation or the issue at hand

- "trust": the assurance that you can rely on a person when you're in need

Out of all these, only "empathy" fits the first blank and only "perspective" fits the second. So, C is correct.

C.

Explanation:

Definitions for the set of words:

Perspective: A point of view

Understanding: the ability to comprehend.

Empathy: the ability to understand another's feelings.

Trust: faith in another person or thing.

Although understanding fits the first blank, empathy is more descriptive of emotions in particular.

Perspective in the context of emotions allows you to feel from a different point of view.

Trust and understanding are somewhat unrelated to the question posed.
