everything in lelechkas nursery was bright, pretty,
and cheerful. lelechkas sweet voice charmed her
mother. lelechka was a delightful child. there was no
other such child, there never had been, and there
never would be. lelechkas mother, serafima
aleksandrovna, was sure of that. lelechkas eyes
were dark and large, her cheeks were rosy, her lips
were made for kisses and for laughter. but it was not
these charms in lelechka that gave her mother the
keenest joy. lelechka was her mothers only child.
that was why every movement of lelechkas
bewitched her mother. it was great bliss to hold
lelechka on her knees and to fondle her; to feel the
little girl in her arms - a thing as lively and as bright as
a little bird.

was a young man of thirty - five, she a young woman of

which point of view is established in this
narrative?
(1 point)
third person limited
second person
first person
third person omniscient

Explanation:

To determine the point of view, we analyze the narrative:

• Third person omniscient is correct because the narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of multiple characters (Lelechka's mother's feelings, the husband's traits, and their marital situation). It's not limited to one character's perspective (ruling out third person limited), doesn't use "you" (ruling out second person), and doesn't use "I/we" (ruling out first person).

Answer:

D. third person omniscient
