Answer 1

Explanation:

To answer this question we need to understand what the third-person limited point of view means.

The third-person point of view is when the narrator only relates his or her thoughts, feelings, and knowledge of various situations and other characters, and it is typically the main character. All characters are described using pronouns, such as 'they', 'he', and 'she'.

Now let's answer the given options. Keep in mind that Jerome is the main character of the story:

Readers understand Jerome's development through the perspective of the other characters in the story - False.

The third POV only gives us the development through the perspective of Jerome, not of other characters.

Readers understand Jerome's thoughts and feelings as he works through a conflict - True.

As Jerome is the main character and it is written in the third POV, then yes we can know his thoughts and feelings, and how he works through a conflict.

The story is focused on the central lesson that Jerome learns, rather than the understandings of other characters - True.

Yes, as he is the main character, we learn a lesson or understand the theme through his perspective.

The focus of the story is on how all of the characters react to the conflict, rather than how Jerome learns from his experience - False.

No, we focus on Jerome, and what he learns from his experience.
