Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the narrative of "A Rose for Emily". The story is told in the past tense (events like Emily's life and death are recounted as past occurrences). The point of view is first - person, as the narrator uses "we" (a collective first - person perspective of the townspeople) to tell the story. Option A is incorrect as the story is not in present tense. Option C is incorrect because second - person point of view (using "you") is not used. Option D is incorrect as it's not third - person or present tense. So the correct option is B.

Answer:

B. past; first - person
