Read the excerpt from “A Pair of Silk Stockings” by Kate Chopin and answer the question that follows.
Little Mrs. Sommers one day found herself the unexpected possessor of fifteen dollars. It seemed to her a very large amount of money, and the way in which it stuffed and bulged her worn old [pocketbook] gave her a feeling of importance such as she had not enjoyed for years. . . .
A man with keen eyes, who sat opposite to her, seemed to like the study of her small, pale face. It puzzled him to decipher what he saw there. In truth, he saw nothing—unless he were wizard enough to detect a poignant wish, a powerful longing that the cable car would never stop anywhere, but go on and on with her forever.

Which point of view does this excerpt illustrate?
third-person limited
second-person
third-person omniscient
first-person
Answer:
Third person omniscient.
Explanation:
This type of view/narration uses an external type of view or sometimes called "all-knowing" point of view where the thoughts and actions of different characters are known and described by the narrator.
From the excerpt, the third person omniscient view is used to show the thoughts and actions of Mrs Sommers and the "man with keen eyes"
Answer: D
Explanation: Although I don't know the context of the story, I believe that D is the only reasonable answer. It wouldn't be A because that makes her seem like a player, don't think it's B because it wouldn't make sense, and I don't think it's C because I'm not sure what the story is about.

Dear sir/madam
I amm a regular user of your transportation service and take your buses to travel to and from my office. I am writing to bring to your attention a few critical issues inflicted upon me and other commuters who use your service. I am hoping you would address these issues promptly.
First, during the last couple of weeks, your buses are making recurring delays and this is affecting our arrival in our workplaces on time. To add more grief, a few buses do not arrive at all. A number of times, I had to wait for more than an hour and then hail a taxi to reach my office. Finally, some buses are full when they arrive and cannot take any more passenger from the Victoria Stand. This situation forces me and many other travellers to either take the congested bus and stand all the way in a miserable condition or wait for the next bus. I believe this would reduce people's trust in your service.
