Question

Which of the following is true about third-person limited point of view?

Answer 1

The narrator is not part of the story and only states the characters' actions and speech.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. The narrator is not part of the story and only states the characters' actions and speech.

Explanation:

In literature there are different angles or narrator from which the events in a story are told, these include first, the second and third point of view. In the case of the third person the events are told by someone who witnessed the events that occur in a story but generally does not participated in the events described, because of this, the third-person narrator refers to the characters by using third person pronouns such as "she", "he" or "it", but never uses "you", "I" or "we". Additionally, the third-person point of view can be classified as omniscient or limited, in the case of omniscient third-person point of view, the narrator has access to the feelings and thoughts of the characters and knows all the actions in the story. But in the case of the third person limited the narrator just tells the actions of the characters and the events that occur. Considering this, the statement that is true about the third-person limited point of view is that "The narrator is not part of the story and only states the characters' actions and speech".
