One afternoon, after another dreary Sunday, he walked home from Mrs. Cobb's with the sea breeze determined to shove him to Malag
a Island. It scooted around him and pulled at his ears. It threw up the dust of the road into his face to turn him around, and when he leaned into it, it suddenly let go and pushed at him from behind, laughing. But with the iron word forbidden tolling like a heavy bell by his ears, Turner would not let himself be brought to Malaga. And so with a last abrupt kick, the sea breeze twisted around and left him. Turner watched it rushing pell-mell down Parker Head and toward the shore. "Go find Lizzie," he whispered. In this excerpt, which indicates that the story is being told from the third-person point of view?

3)The narrator describes in great detail Turner’s words and actions but not his thoughts.
4)The narrator describes in great detail Turner’s thoughts but not his words or actions.
Option 2. In the excerpt, the fact that Turner is referred to as "he", and the reader is able to hear his thoughts and feelings, indicates that the story is being told from the third-person point-of-view.
Explanation:
In writing, the third-person narrator is any story that is being told using the grammatical third-person, this is to say using the articles he, she and/or they. The third-person narrator can be omniscient or limited. If it is limited, the narrator will only tell his/her own thoughts, and will limit to describe other's actions and words, and not their thoughts as the limited narrator can not know them. An omniscient narrator, as the one from the excerpt, knows all of the thoughts and feelings of all of the characters within the story.
