Answer:

The short story "Was It a Dream" deals with the theme of illusion against reality. When the narrator spems the night at the cementary, he sees how the dead rise from their tombs to changed the false and hypocritical engraving on their stones. The narrator's lover, whose stone said ‘She loved, was loved, and died,’ changed it for: ‘Having gone out one day, in order to deceive her lover, she caught cold in the rain and died.’”

This shows how people show themselves differently than they really are. And, at the same time, people tend to glorify or even sanctify others, specially after they died, and present to society as something they are or were not.

say you love someone dearly, and you assume the person loves you, but, you find he\she was just playing you and actually loved another. he\she could've been just playing you for your wealth or other things you might have had, so that is when a character would say (possible the following day after sleeping) "was it a dream?" 


a story could possible be having a incredible adventure. after the character awakes he\she will most likely be thinking to her\him self "was it a dream?!"

What is the difference between a limited point of view and an
professor190 [17]

The correct answer is B.In the limited point of view, the narrator shares the thoughts, feelings and  opinions of one character; in the omniscient point of view, the narrator  shares the thoughts, feelings, and opinions of all characters.

Explanation:

In narrative texts, the point of view determines the perspective used to tell the events in a story. In the case of the omniscient point of view, which is one of the most common points of view, the narrator has access to the feelings, thoughts, and similar to all characters, due to this, this type of point of view often includes references to the thoughts, feelings, etc. of all the characters involved or at least most of them.

In contrast, in the limited point of view, the narrator only knows the feelings, thoughts, etc. of a character which can be the narrator itself, considering the narrator acts as an observer, and therefore the reference of feelings and thoughts is limited to only one character. According to this, the correct option is B.
