Question

18. Which of the following are characteristics of a third-person limited point of view?

Answer 1

Pretty sure it’s D. Could be B though

Answer 2

The correct answers are B and C.

Third person means using the pronouns she, he, his, her, they, them, etc. In literature, a third person narrates the actions of the characters without being a character themselves. (EX: Sally went to the grocery store with Martha).

The two types of third person narrators are:

• Third person limited

Can only go into the minds of one or two characters. The ability of the narrator to step into the all the characters’ shoes is LIMITED.

• Third person omniscient

The narrator can tap into the minds of ALL the characters. He/she sees all and knows all. The narrator is NOT limited in his/her knowledge of the characters or their experiences.
