Question

Which one of these excerpts from Mark Twain's Life on the Mississippi best shows that the story is told by a subjective narrator? A. If ever a youth was cordially admired and hated by his comrades, this one was. B. [The steamboat] has two tall, fancy-topped chimneys, with a gilded device of some kind swung between them. C. Drays, carts, men, boys, all go hurrying from many quarters to a common center, the wharf. D. The doctor's and the postmaster's sons became "mud clerks."

Answer 1

The correct answer is A.  Subjective narrator.

When a narrator is subjective, this one expresses or adopts the point of view of a specific character in the story. He usually knows what the character feels or think, but not what the other characters maybe thinking or doing.  He has a limited vision of what is occurring in the story.
