Question

1. when would a limited point of view be preferable to an omniscient point of view?

when the author wants to give an objective account of the storys events
when the author wants to tell the story from the perspective of a secondary character
when the author wants us to experience the story through the eyes of the main character
when the author wants us to experience events from multiple points of view

Explanation:

• Limited point of view: Focuses on one character's thoughts and experiences.
• Omniscient point of view: Knows all characters' thoughts and events.
• When the author wants the reader to experience the story through the main character's eyes, a limited point of view (from that main - character's perspective) is better. It creates a more intimate connection.
• An objective account (first option) is more in line with an omniscient or a very detached narrator.
• Telling from a secondary character (second option) is a form of limited point of view but not the most common preference when we talk about the "preferable" case for a limited point of view in general (main - character - centric limited is more typical).
• Multiple points of view (fourth option) is more related to an omniscient or a multi - limited (but not a single - limited) approach.

Answer:

when the author wants us to experience the story through the eyes of the main character
