Answer 1

Answer:

B. The story is told from the perspective of a character who doesn’t know exactly what is happening or why.

Explanation:

When it comes to the amount of information the narrator has access to, there are two types of narrators:

• omniscient narrator - a narrator who knows what is happening at all points of the story at all times.
• limited narrator - a narrator who follows only one character and has insight only into their thoughts and feelings.

A story written as the first-person limited narrative is a story told from the perspective of a character who doesn't know exactly what is happening or why. Unlike the omniscient narrator, this character doesn't know about everything that is going on or what other characters are thinking.
