Ben sat on a bench and watched a flurry of pigeons peck hungrily at the ground. His lunch break was almost over, so he stood to walk back to the office. His boss, Mr. Henley, was never there, but Ben still didn’t want to risk being late. He liked his job and Mr. Henley’s odd absences gave him something to puzzle over.
Which point of view does the narrator use?
A.third-person omniscient
B.first-person and third-person
C.first-person
D.third-person limited
I think A
D.third-person limited
remember that third-person omniscient means the narrator can see everyone's thoughts whereas third person limited can only see one person's thoughts. Hope this helps :)
To determine the point of view in a story, you need to identify who is telling the story and from what perspective. The point of view refers to the narrator's relationship to the events and characters in the story.
In this case, the narrator is telling the story from an external perspective, observing the actions and thoughts of the protagonist, Ben. The narrator is not a character in the story and has access to the thoughts and feelings of multiple characters, including Ben and Mr. Henley. This indicates that the narrator uses the third-person omniscient point of view.
So, your answer of A. third-person omniscient is correct. Well done!
