Question

which point of view does the narrator use in the passage? osgood would never be a man of letters like fields, a litterateur, and so hesitated to compare ideas of true literature. \why would augustus manning threaten such a measure? its extortion, thats what,\ he said indignantly. at this fields smiled to himself, thinking of how much there still was to teach osgood. from matthew pearl, the dante club. copyright 2003 by matthew pearl first person second person third person

Explanation:

To determine the 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.
• Second - person point of view uses the pronoun "you". The passage does not use "you".
• Third - person point of view uses pronouns like "he", "she", "they" to refer to characters. In the passage, we see "Osgood", "Fields", and "Augustus Manning" referred to with third - person pronouns (e.g., "he" for Osgood and Augustus Manning, and "himself" for Fields). So the narrator is using the third - person point of view.

Answer:

third person
