Answer 1

Answer:

The best answer seems to be letter B. An individual often perceives the same concept or idea differently from another.

Explanation:

According to the quote by Van Morrison, a famous person's perception of himself is different than other people's perception of him. That simply means that different people, different individuals, can perceive the same idea in a contrasting manner to others. It may very well be that Van Morrison himself didn't wake up thinking he was famous, but that other famous people do. It all depends on their perception. Another example still related to fame is the way some people perceive it as good while others as bad. Those who see fame as a bad thing treasure their privacy and personal life. They value solitude and quietness. Those who see it as good desire the paparazzi, the flashes, the questions, even the intrusions. From their perception, all of that means they are important, loved, admired.
