first person
second person
third person limited
third person omniscient

Explanation:

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

• First person uses "I/we" as the narrator, which is not seen here.
• Second person uses "you" as the main perspective, not present.
• Third - person limited only reveals the thoughts/feelings of one character. But here, we see Jake's wonder ("How would he know that, Jake wondered") and Grace's thoughts about furniture and the lake view.
• Third - person omniscient can access the thoughts and feelings of multiple characters, which matches the passage as it shows the inner thoughts of both Jake and Grace.

Answer:

third person omniscient
