Which sentence reveals the author’s point of view in the passage? Learning to ski when you're an adult can be difficult. And if

you are the kind of person who is easily embarrassed, then skiing may not be the sport for you. But you can avoid embarrassment when learning how to ski as an adult and reap great rewards of a fun activity. First, rent short skis. They will save you from wiping out on your first days on the mountain. Next, take lessons from a certified professional at a ski school. You may think you can just watch other people ski and do what they do, but taking lessons will teach you how to ski correctly. Now, here's a piece of wisdom for you: you are going to fall—not once, but many times. The best thing you can do to save face when it happens is to laugh it off and get back up. You could even pretend that you meant to fall down. Whatever you do, don't whine about how sore you are or what a big bruise you'll have tomorrow. Skiers are a tough bunch, and you want people to know you're serious about becoming one.

Answer: The second sentence, "And if you are the kind of person who is easily embarrassed, then skiing may not be the sport for you," reveals that the authors points of view is 2nd person.

Explanation:

2nd person point of view uses the pronouns you/your/yours. The first sentence does not reveal the POV because the author could potentially be speaking in first person and talking directly to the audience. However, the second sentence makes it clear that 'you' are the main character in the passage.

There is a scene in chapter 3 when the man with owl-eyed spectacles tells Nick and Jordan that the books in Gatsby's library are
serg [7]

Answer:

Nick Caraway meets the man with the enormous owl-eyed spectacles in Jay Gatsby's library, during one of Jay's parties. Nick and Jordan had politely left their company to find Jay. The man was drunk and wanted to know what Nick and Jordan thought of Jay's enormous collection of books.

The man seemed overwhelmed by the idea that Jay actually had real books in his library and not just mere cardboard replicas to create the impression of reality. His comment that Jay is a "regular Belasco" is a reference to a famous and popular playwright, impresario, director and producer at the time, David Belasco.

The reference to one rooted in theatre implies firstly, that the library has the makings of a theatre - it is impressively large and well-stocked. Secondly, it suggests that Gatsby is putting on a show. This is the reason why the man with the spectacles is so surprised that the books are actually genuine. He expected them to be fake. Just as the room presented something theatrical, so should the books have too.

It is ironic that the man should make this comment because he accurately identifies the theatricality and artificiality of Jay's life without realizing it. The Jay who presents himself to his audience is not the real James Gatz. He has adopted a fake identity and affectations such as "old sport", to impress and convey an image of wealth and academic success.

Furthermore, the reference to the owl-eyed nature of the man's spectacles alludes to knowledge, deep scrutiny and investigation. The irony is however, that the man makes the remark whilst drunk, so even his insight is doubtful since this is the type of logic or rationalization one can expect from an inebriate. His remarks are the ramblings of a drunk and are of no consequence or import.
