Remember, first-person narration is when someone is talking with pronouns such as "I" or "We."
Sentence one is one of the correct answers because when a narrator is speaking in first person they are most often a witness to something and can also retell the story to another character in the story. They narrator could also retell the story to the readers themselves.
Sentence two is an incorrect answer because the first person character could possibly be in a situation where he or she or they do not get the most accurate information about a certain situation, and later on they find out they were wrong. This sentence is more describing a third person narration or a second person.
Sentence three is also incorrect. It states that a first person narrator know past and present. But this is more of something for a third person narration. Maybe, it could be for second person narration, but in my opinion authors really should know how to pull that off.
Sentence four is also a correct answer. If the narrator is narrating in the first person then that means they should be a participating character in the story.
Sentence five is also incorrect. This would be more for third person. Not for first or second. It would be impossible for someone who is narrating in the first person to know everything about all the characters. Unless this character is a super stalker.
The two statements that are generally true for first person narration are sentence a and sentence e.
The i before e spelling rule goes as such: i before e EXCEPT after c. There are many cases where this is side stepped. However, there is no c in neighbor and the i does not come after the e. So yes, this is an exception of the rule.
