Answer: C) first person point of view
Explanation: The first person point of view describes the narrator's perspective in Shania's diary because Shania relates her own story i.e the story was told from Shania's perspective. To justify this, we often see the words; "I, Me, We, Us" (grammatical first person) been used. Shania spoke alot about her self in the diary and also the events she experienced.
Answer:
1: c) The student is qualifying the author's claim.
2: b) The student is challenging the author's claim.
Explanation:
Qualifying a Claim
It means, making a claim factually more correct, and persuading those to agree who earlier had disagreed with the claim.
The phrases<em> "Americans seem to be equally attracted" </em>and <em>"thus only partially fulfilling"</em> clearly show that the student is not challenging the author's claims nor is he defending it. But he is trying to make the claim factually correct and acceptable to those who disagreed with author's claims. Student's perspective is very clear. He has clearly conveyed his point of view.
Challenging a Claim:
As the term shows, it means to make the entire claim doubtful or clearly challenging its validity.
The phrases "just because numerous news outlets are available does not mean that Americans are interested" and "It is more likely that they are tuned into sitcoms, cartoons, and reality shows." indicate that the student is making the author's claims doubtful. He has raised a question over its validity.
The student is very clear in pointing out the flaw in author's claim.
Answer:
“Let either of you breathe a word, or the edge of a word, about the other things, and I will come to you in the black of some terrible night and I will bring a pointy reckoning that will shudder you. And you know I can do it; I saw Indians smash my dear parents’ heads on the pillow next to mine, and I have seen some reddish work done at night, and I can make you wish you had never seen the sun go down!” (Abigail Williams pg. 19)

It also gives us a taste of how far she’s willing to go to achieve her desired outcome and/or exact revenge.
