Question

which point of view does the narrator use in the passage? robert talked a good deal about himself. he was very young, and did not know any better. mrs. pontellier talked a little about herself for the same reason. each was interested in what the other said. from kate chopin, the awakening first person second person third person

Explanation:

To determine the point of view, we analyze the pronouns used. First - person uses "I/we", second - person uses "you", and third - person uses "he/she/they" to refer to characters. In the passage, the narrator refers to Robert and Mrs. Pontellier using "he" and "she", which is characteristic of third - person point of view. The first - person option is incorrect as there's no "I" or "we" narration, and the second - person option is incorrect as there's no "you" directed at the reader or a character in a second - person way.

Answer:

third person
