There are lots of articles in here discussing "narrative voice." Basically, what do you think? Does the narrator already know things the characters and the reader don't ... yet? Is the narrator like a "fly on the wall" just reporting what's happening without any bias or extra knowledge on the narrator's part?

"After having lived with her for a year, Chad studied Marilou's eyes across the table, realizing he had never had a clue about what make her tick." This sentence from a hypothetical novel suggests what kind of narrative voice?
A. First person participant
B. First person reporting

I lie about everything! Jassamine Kelly is not staying at my house, she's at her own house somewhere and we never proposed to each other and I LOVE being called George Michael!
To determine the kind of narrative voice in this sentence, we need to analyze the sentence construction and the perspective it presents. The sentence is written in the third person, as evidenced by the use of "Chad studied Marilou's eyes" instead of "I studied Marilou's eyes." This indicates that the narrative voice is not the voice of one of the characters in the story, but rather an external observer or a detached narrator.
This particular sentence also suggests that the narrative voice is an omniscient narrator. The narrator has access to Chad's thoughts and feelings, describing how he realizes that he "had never had a clue about what makes her tick." So, not only does the narrator provide a description of the scene but also gives insight into Chad's thoughts.
In conclusion, based on the third-person perspective and the omniscient insights into Chad's thoughts, the narrative voice in this sentence can be characterized as an omniscient narrator.
