Explanation:

The first - person point of view allows the reader to access Agnes' inner thoughts and feelings, revealing her determination and confidence. The quote "..you shall see what I can do" (para. 14) supports this as it shows her self - assurance. Option A is incorrect because first - person doesn't limit to external actions; it gives insight into motives. Option B is wrong as there's no indication of an unreliable narrator mocking family. Option D is not related to how first - person affects understanding of Agnes.

Answer:

Part A: C. It reveals her determination and inward confidence despite others' doubts.
Part B: B. "..you shall see what I can do." (para. 14)
