Question

Her two elder sisters had been married with the usual cost and difficulty, and now the youngest daughter lay like a silent weight upon the heart of her parents. All the world seemed to think that, because she did not speak, therefore she did not feel; it discussed her future and its own anxiety freely in her presence.



Which point of view does this passage reveal?

second-person limited
third-person omniscient
third-person limited
first-person unlimited

Answer 1

The answer is third-person omniscient. I just answered that question.

Answer 2

Answer: B) Third-person omniscient.

Explanation: when writing, an author can use speakers that narrate the story from different perspectives, in order to create different impacts on the readers. In the given excerpt we can see an example of a third-person omniscient point of view (in which the narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of all of the characters in the story), we can see that in phrases like: "All the world seemed to think that, because she did not speak, therefore she did not feel."
