Here is the full passage for this question:

<span>There is likewise another diversion which is only shown before the emperor and the empress, and first minister, upon particular occasions. The emperor lays on the table three fine silken threads of six inches long; one is purple, the other yellow, and the third white. These threads are proposed as prizes for those persons whom the emperor has a mind to distinguish by a peculiar mark of his favor. . . . The emperor holds a stick in his hands, both ends parallel to the horizon, while the candidates advancing, one by one, sometimes leap over the stick, sometimes creep under it, backward and forward, several times, according as the stick is advanced or depressed.
</span>

I think the answer would be: <span>The emperor rewards his subjects for jumping over and under a stick.

The full passage basically tell the readers about the strange contest that both the emperor and the empress like to conduct. We can see from the third sentence that those who are able to finish emperor's contest will be rewarded with a thread of silk.</span>

Answer:

The answer is, Third-Person Point of View.

Explanation:

There are three different points of view. Point of view is the perspective of the narrator or character in a story.

There is the First-person point of view, second-person point of view and the third-person point of view.

The first-person point of view is usually marked by the use of "I". In this case, you are understanding the story from the narrator's perspective. The narrator also is usually a character in the story and this serves as a first hand account.

Second-person point of view view isn't that commonly used and is marked by the use of "you". It gives the illusion of the narrator speaking directly to the reader.

The third-person point of view as in this poem is marked by the use of "he", "she", "they". The third person point of view may be from a character in the story or from an omniscient perspective where the person knows what's going to happen and seems to be looking down and observing the characters.

In this poem, the third-person point of view is shown by the use of "they". Despite the use of "I" initially, as you read further, you see that the point of view even tends to the omniscient perspective as he seems to know their emotion shown in "In joy they fled before the wind".

Also, it is an account describing other characters in the poem without seeming to be in the story itself. This solidifies it as the third-person point of view.

In World War 2, you could help to hide Jews in a sort of sewer. The Government keeps tracks of most Jews, yet you could attempt to hide people, or at least give water, food, or a safe place. It may bring yourself to death back then, yet it would have a possibility to save at least some Jews.

I woke up to the delicious aroma of bacon and eggs. As I got out of bed, I heard my stomach let out a super loud growl, and I winced. I was so hungry I could eat a horse! I splashed cold water on my face and I ran to the kitchen to eat my breakfast.
