Question

select the correct answer.
what is the main difference between the limited and omniscient third - person narrative point of view?
○ a limited point of view is told from the point of view of a minor character of the story.
○ an omniscient point of view allows the reader access to the thoughts of the main character of the story.
○ a limited point of view allows the reader access to the thoughts of all the main characters of the story.
○ an omniscient point of view provides readers with knowledge about all characters, as well as past and future events.

Explanation:

• Limited third - person narrative: The narrator only knows the thoughts and feelings of one character (usually the main character). It is not about being a minor character.
• Omniscient third - person narrative: The narrator knows everything about all characters (their thoughts, feelings, past, and future).

Answer:

An omniscient point of view provides readers with knowledge about all characters, as well as past and future events.
