Question
which narrative point of view is shown in the passage?
the door opened, and an old man and an old woman came out carrying bowls of rice and soup and a leafy branch of peaches. \have you eaten rice today, little girl?\... they gave me an egg, as if it were my birthday, and tea, though they were older than i, but i poured for them. the teapot and the rice pot seemed bottomless, but perhaps not; the old couple ate very little except for peaches.

first person
second person
third person limited
third person omniscient
The passage uses first - person pronouns like "I" (e.g., "though they were older than I, but I poured for them"). First - person point of view is when the narrator tells the story from their own perspective, using "I" or "we". The other options don't fit: second person uses "you", third - person limited has a narrator outside the story focusing on one character's thoughts, and third - person omniscient has a narrator who knows all characters' thoughts.
