Establishing point of view in a story is important because it _____.
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

In this case option B) “determines who the story’s narrator will be” is the correct one since according to the point of view of a story we can tell who the narrator is. These are some of the types of point of view:

• First person point of view: the story is told by the main character in first person

• Third person omniscient point of view: the narrator tells the story in 3rd person and provides the reader information about all characters feelings and emotions

The narrator can choose from the different points of view according to what he wants to convey.  

Option 1) is not correct since all points of view help the author tell a story in the most effective way, it will vary according to the author’s needs.

Option C) is also incorrect since choosing the point of view is not related to which characters are good or bad in the story.

Option D) is also incorrect since the point of view does not foreshadow the events in a story, it just indicates who is narrating the story and what things the author wants the audience to know when describing the characters and the events.

What is the transfer of heat which does not require any medium called?
AlekseyPX

The method of heat transfer that does not require a medium is radiation. Heat may be transmitted across void space through thermal radiation, commonly known as infrared radiation.

No mass is transferred and no medium is required during radiation. Radiation is the only method of heat transmission that does not need a substance, such as the heat released by the sun or the filament of a light bulb. There is no material medium necessary for the propagation of electromagnetic waves, often known as radiation. Only in a vacuum can we observe the perfect transfer of energy, because when radiation travels through material, part of its energy is lost. (Subject to the material property)

Conversely, in the instance of Conduction.
