Answer
Only the outside street.

The correct answer is Only the outside street. — So the correct description is that you see only the outside street.

Step-by-step solution

  1. A clean window allows light to pass through with minimal reflection.
  2. When you look through it from inside, the light comes from outside.
  3. Thus you see the outside street and not the interior.

Common mistake: Assuming you see the interior as well
