how does a third - person omniscient narrator differ from a third - person limited narrator?
a. a third - person omniscient narrator uses the pronouns you and yours, while a third - person limited narrator uses the pronouns / and me.
b. a third - person omniscient narrator knows the thoughts of one character, while a third - person limited narrator can access all the characters thoughts.
c. a third - person omniscient narrator shows examples of the authors opinions, while a third - person limited narrator is completely unbiased.
d. a third - person omniscient narrator can see all the characters actions and know their thoughts, while a third - person limited narrator has insight into only one character.

Explanation:

• Option A: Third - person narrators (both omniscient and limited) use pronouns like he, she, they, etc. First - person uses I and me, and second - person uses you. So this option is incorrect.
• Option B: The opposite is true. A third - person limited narrator knows the thoughts of one character, while an omniscient narrator knows the thoughts of all characters. So this option is incorrect.
• Option C: Both types of third - person narrators (omniscient and limited) can be biased or unbiased depending on the author's choice. There is no such strict rule that omniscient shows the author's opinions and limited is completely unbiased. So this option is incorrect.
• Option D: A third - person omniscient narrator has a "god - like" view, seeing all characters' actions and knowing their thoughts. A third - person limited narrator is restricted to the perspective (actions and thoughts) of one character. This is the correct distinction.

Answer:

D. A third - person omniscient narrator can see all the characters' actions and know their thoughts, while a third - person limited narrator has insight into only one character.
