A. omniscient third person B. limited third person C. first person

Answer 1

Answer:

A). Omniscient third person.

Explanation:

Omniscient third person point-of-view is demonstrated as the point of view in which the author is aware of the thoughts and emotions of the various characters present in the story. The narrator relates the story from a distance and allows each character to unfold itself.

As per the question, the given passage is written in 'omniscient third person' as the author employs the third-person pronoun like 'she', 'he', etc. and reveals the information about thoughts and feelings of the characters('wondering for how large a sum she could ask without bringing upon herself an immediate refusal, an exclamation of horror', 'with some hesitation', 'intending to get...',). Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
