Explanation:

Question 41

The sentence is about the narrative perspective of the story, and "point of view" refers to the perspective from which a story is told. Since it's stating the perspective is 3rd person omniscient, the word needed is "point of view".

A flashback is a scene that interrupts the present action to show an event from the past. The description here is about a remembered event (from the past) retold as if happening now, so "flashback" fits.

Mood refers to the emotional atmosphere a story creates for the reader. The sentence says it can vary (suspense, fear) from reader to reader, which is about mood.

Answer:

point of view
