The correct answer is D, because that is the only appropriate shift in tense. A isn't correct because present perfect tense (have raced) is used inappropriately, when it should have been past perfect. B is also incorrect because past perfect means that that action happened before the storm blew, which is not the case. C features future continuous tense, which is impossible due to shift in tense. Therefore, the answer is D, because there is an appropriate tense in that sentence, past simple.

Match each narrative point of view to the appropriate set of pronouns.
solong [7]

The answer is:

<h3>First person : I, me, my, mine, we</h3>

The first person point of view allows the reader the see the story through the narrator's eyes, with his or her feelings, motives and inner thoughts.

<h3>Second person : you, your</h3>

The second person point of view is not very often used in fiction. In such cases, the narrator tells the story to the readers by addressing them with the word "you" and making them a character. In this way, readers have the feeling they are involved in the story.

<h3>Third person : he, she, it, they</h3>

In the third person point of view, the story is told by a bodiless narrator who describes the feelings and thoughts of several characters, and the events that occur to them in the story. As a consequence, readers have a wider view of the characters emotions and ideas.
