Answer:
C. Past; third person-omniscient.
Explanation:
The short story "Born Worker" by Gary Sato tells the story of a young boy's life of a working family. The story particularly tells the story of how Jose was taken advantage of by his cousin Arnie who did nothing while Jose did all the work.
The story is written or told in the past tense, with the use of the words such as "was", "told", "did", all signifying actions of the past. and the narration was done in the third-person omniscient point of view. In this point of view, the narrator is someone who has access to the feelings and emotions of all the characters of the story. It does not focus only on the mind of one person, but rather all of the other characters and is not part of the story. He is not a character in the story, but rather just a narrator.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
This is a personal question. I will answer below according to the word that was unfamiliar to me, but feel free to add to the answer in case there were more for you.
Answer and Explanation:
The word that I found unfamiliar and whose meaning I did not know at first was "behest". I had never seen that word before. To understand its meaning, I looked for context clues. <u>The rest of the sentence in which "behest" appears functions as a clue to finding its meaning. It says that, at a person's behest, something happened: "the Exhibition dropped its superfluous rags and stripped itself. . ." As soon as I read this part, it made me think of the word "command." For instance, the sentence "At the general's command, the troops advanced" has a similar connotation to the one with "behest".</u>
To confirm my assumptions, I looked the word up online and found it indeed means "order" or "command".
