Answer:
The answer is third-person limited.
Explanation:
Let's discuss the terms first.
1. <em>Third-person omniscient </em>occurs when the narrator includes all the voices of all the characters in a story. That is, a story is told from different points of view. In this paragraph, we only know about Ben, what he does, sees, his boss.
2. <em>First person and third person</em>. The narrator uses the third person to talk about Ben but he neves uses the first person, i.e. <em>I</em> or <em>we</em>.
3. <em>First person</em>. The story is narrated by the character himself/herself. We know everything from his point of view. The use of "I" and "we" will appear this narrative.
4. Third person limited. This is the correct answer. The narrator presents one character and closely follows him: what he does, what he says, his feelings and thoughts. The characters are described using pronouns (he,she, they,etc). In this paragraph, the narrator includes Ben. He is described as being on a bench on his lunch break, watching the birds eat. He doesn't like being late. He is thinking about why his boss is never around. Every action revolves around Ben and you can find the proun "he" to describe him.
Sentence 4
The topic sentence should set up what the paragraph is going to be about. This paragraph is about both heroes of the 1940s and heroes of the present, and sentence four is the only sentence that includes both. It also provides an indication that the paragraph is going to be comparing both types of heroes to each other.
In the phrase "to buzz forth doleful lamentations", the word "buzz" is an example of an onomatopoeia. Basically, it means that the sound of bees flying or "buzzing" expresses a melancholy expression. This could be considered an onomatopoeia, but it also is used to say the bees "spoke" which implies that they "buzzed" as in it was their way of speaking, diction if you will. The whole sentence is "<span>At length, as if comprehending their disaster, they settled down in clusters on a dry branch of a neighboring tree, whence they seemed to contemplate the prostrate ruin, and to </span>buzz forth doleful lamentations<span> over the downfall of their republic" which clearly says they SEEMED, which rules out diction as an answer. So, the answer should be onomatopoeia. </span>Hope this helps!
