first person a) esteban, a teenage boy on his first deep - sea fishing trip, narrates his own story about hooking an enormous marlin.
second person b) esteban, a teenage boy on his first deep - sea fishing trip, talks directly to the reader using \you,\ making them feel like they are on the boat right beside him.
third person limited c) the story of esteban, a teenage boy on his first deep - sea fishing trip, is narrated by someone not in the story. the reader knows only what the boat’s captain is thinking and feeling.
third person omniscient d) the story of esteban, a teenage boy on his first deep - sea fishing trip, is narrated by someone not in the story. the reader knows what esteban, the boat’s captain, and esteban’s father are thinking and feeling.

Explanation:

• First - person point of view uses "I" or "we" and is when the narrator is part of the story. In option A, Esteban is narrating his own story (using "I" - like when he would say "I hooked the marlin"), so it's first - person.
• Second - person point of view uses "you". Option B has Esteban talking directly to the reader with "you", so it's second - person.
• Third - person limited means the narrator is not in the story and only knows the thoughts and feelings of one character. In option C, the narrator (not in the story) only knows the captain's thoughts/feelings, so it's third - person limited.
• Third - person omniscient means the narrator is not in the story and knows the thoughts and feelings of multiple characters. Option D has the narrator (not in the story) knowing Esteban's, the captain's, and Esteban's father's thoughts/feelings, so it's third - person omniscient.

Answer:

First person - A, Second person - B, Third person limited - C, Third person omniscient - D
