Explanation:

To determine the narrator's point of view, we analyze the passage:

• First - person point of view uses pronouns like "I" or "we". The passage does not use these pronouns from the narrator's perspective.
• Second - person point of view uses the pronoun "you", which is also not present in the passage.
• Third - person point of view uses pronouns like "he", "she", "they" to refer to characters. In the passage, the narrator refers to Fern as "she" and Wilbur as "him" or "the pig", using third - person pronouns to describe the characters' actions and feelings.

Answer:

third person
