To determine the point of view of a story, you need to identify the perspective from which the story is being told. In this case, examining the introductory line from "The Jade Peony" by Wayson Choy, the narrator mentions "our whole household," which indicates that they are part of the story and intimately connected to the events in it.
The correct answer is C. First Person Limited since the narrator uses the pronouns "our" and "we" to refer to themselves and the rest of the household. This point of view indicates that the story is being told from the perspective of one of the characters within the story.
