Explanation:

First Question:

To determine whose thoughts readers can access, we analyze the options:

• Option a: Character development focuses on a character's growth, not on whose thoughts are accessible.
• Option b: Plot structure is about the sequence of events, not thought access.
• Option c: Point of view (POV) dictates the narrator's perspective, so it determines whose thoughts (e.g., first - person from the narrator's, third - person limited from one character's) readers can access.
• Option d: Theme is the central idea of the story, not related to thought access.

To find what determines how readers experience and understand a story:

• Option a: Plot structure is the sequence of events, but it's not the main factor in how readers experience the story's perspective.
• Option b: Point of view (POV) shapes the reader's experience. For example, first - person makes the reader experience the story as the narrator, third - person limited as a specific character's view, etc.
• Option c: Character development is about a character's change, not the reader's experience of the story's telling.
• Option d: Setting description is about the story's location, not the core of how readers experience the story's narrative.

To find what creates intimacy between the reader and narrator:

• Option a: Third - person limited shows one character's thoughts but is more distant than first - person.
• Option b: Omniscient narration knows all characters' thoughts, creating distance.
• Option c: Multiple perspectives switch between narrators, which can reduce intimacy.
• Option d: First - person perspective uses "I" to tell the story, making the reader feel close to the narrator as if they are sharing personal experiences.
