Question

"When the first automobile was invented in 1886, there was excitement about what this new machine meant for the future of travel, both near
and far. In 1900, cars were considered luxury items, and only 8,000 were owned in the United States. Currently, over 253 million cars are driven
on American roads. As the automobile became the main form of transportation in the United States, regulations about who could operate the cars
soon followed."
What is the author's point of view in the excerpt?
third-person limited
O third-person omniscient
first person
second person

Answer 1

Answer:

Third-person omniscient.

Explanation:

The Third-person omniscient point of view is considered the most flexible point of view. The narrator in the third-person omniscient point of view is all-knowing and all-seeing.

The given excerpt is taken from "When Should Teens Drive? by Rebecca Lebowitz". The point of view used by the author in this text is third-person omniscient as the narrator is all-knowing.

Therefore, option B is correct.
