Explanation:

To determine the narrative 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" (either directly addressing the reader). The passage does not use "you".
• Third - person point of view uses pronouns like "he", "she", "they" to refer to characters. In the passage, the characters are referred to as "the two young men" and "they", which is characteristic of third - person narration.

third person
