Question

which point of view does the narrator use in the passage? osgood would never be a man of letters like fields, a litterateur, and so hesitated to compare ideas of true literature. why would augustus manning threaten such a measure? its extortion, thats what, he said indignantly. at this fields smiled to himself, thinking of how much there still was to teach osgood. from matthew pearl, the dante club. copyright 2003 by matthew pearl first person second person third person limited third person omniscient

Explanation:

The passage uses phrases like "he said indignantly" and gives insights into the thoughts of a character (Osgood). This indicates that the narrator is not directly involved in the events and is observing multiple characters' actions and thoughts. Third - person limited focuses on the thoughts and feelings of one character, while third - person omniscient can know the thoughts of all characters. Since the passage seems to be observing multiple characters without being one of them, it is third - person omniscient.

Answer:

third person omniscient
