Question

read the passage. then answer the question.
the group project
danny, salma, and jung were assigned to work on a group science project, but when they got together, they just sat in silence. they didn’t really know each other, and no one felt like starting a conversation.
sighing, salma pulled her science folder out of her bag and placed it on the desk.
jung pointed to the folder and asked, “did you get that from the nature preserve—i love that place.”
“my dad works there,” said salma, “so we go there all the time.”
“my family goes there too—it’s so cool,” said danny.
read the passage and then complete the sentence.
the point of view of the narrator in the passage is
blank space
options: first - person omniscient, because each character tells his or her own thoughts, feelings, and actions; first - person limited, because jung is the narrator and tells her own thoughts, feelings, and actions; third - person limited, because the outside narrator tells only jung’s thoughts, feelings, and actions; third - person omniscient, because the narrator tells all three characters’ thoughts, feelings, and actions (the last option is highlighted)

Explanation:

To determine the narrator's point of view, we analyze the passage. The narrator describes the actions and feelings of multiple characters (Danny, Salma, Jung) without being limited to one character's perspective. Third - person omniscient narrators can access the thoughts, feelings, and actions of all characters, which matches the passage's narration as it presents information about all three characters' interactions and feelings (like them sitting in silence, not knowing each other well). The other options are incorrect: first - person limited would involve a character as the narrator (using "I"), which isn't the case here. Third - person limited would only show one character's thoughts, but here multiple characters' situations are presented.

Answer:

third - person omniscient, because the narrator tells all three characters' thoughts, feelings, and actions
