Question

Asked to describe their county, most Devonians will mention the great city of Exeter, the ports of Dartmouth, Plymouth, and Barnstaple, and the dozens of market towns. They will generally neglect to mention that the region is dominated by a great moor, Dartmoor, two thousand feet high in places and over two hundred square miles in expanse. –The Time Traveler’s Guide to Elizabethan England, Ian Mortimer What point of view does the author use in this passage?

Answer 2

Answer:

Third person

Explanation:

In this passage, the author is using the third person point of view. The third person point of view can be identified by the use of the pronouns "he" and "she." When an author writes in this way, he is retelling the experiences he wants to talk about in a way that places others at the center of the narrative. He is not the one living the experiences. He is merely observing. In this case, the story focuses on Devonians of the Elizabethan period, and their experiences.
