Question

if the narrator is outside a story and tells the thoughts and actions of all the characters in the story, then what is the point of view?
a first - person limited
b first - person omniscient
c third - person limited
d third - person omniscient

Explanation:

First, recall point - of - view definitions. First - person (A, B) uses "I/we", but the narrator is outside, so eliminate A and B. Third - person limited (C) shows only one character's thoughts, but the question says all characters' thoughts. Third - person omniscient (D) has a narrator outside, knowing all characters' thoughts and actions.

Answer:

D. third - person omniscient
