Question

use the passages to answer the question.
select passage 1 and passage 2.
which choice best compares the narrators
points of view in the two texts?
(1 point)
they both use the third-person
omniscient point of view to examine the
thoughts of different characters.

view to directly address the reader.
they both use the first-person point of
view to highlight the thoughts of the
main character.
both use a third-person limited point of
view.

Explanation:

To determine the narrators' points of view, analyze each passage:

• In "The Open Window", the narrator reveals thoughts of Framton Nuttel (e.g., "Privately he doubted...") and other characters' actions, using a third - person limited point of view (focuses on a few characters' thoughts/feelings).
• In "A Cup of Tea", the narrator shows Rosemary's thoughts (e.g., "There are moments...") and the girl's actions, also using a third - person limited point of view.

Eliminate other options:

• First - person uses "I/we", but neither passage does.
• Second - person uses "you", which is not present.
• Third - person omniscient would know all characters' thoughts, but these passages focus on a limited number of characters' perspectives.

Answer:

Both use a third - person limited point of view.
