Question

which point of view does the narrator use in the passage? \let me remind you,\ barney northrup said, \the rent here is cheaper than what your old house costs in upkeep.\ how would he know that, jake wondered. grace stood before the front window where, beyond the road, beyond the trees, lake michigan lay calm and glistening. a lake view! just wait until those so - called friends of hers with their classy houses see this place. the furniture would have to be reupholstered; no, shed buy new furniture—beige velvet. from ellen raskin, the westing game. copyright 1978 by ellen raskin first person second person third person

Explanation:

The passage uses third-person point of view because it refers to characters by name (Barney Northrup, Jake, Grace) and accesses the private thoughts of multiple characters (Jake's wonder, Grace's internal plans), which is characteristic of third-person narration. First-person uses "I/we" and second-person uses "you", neither of which appear here.

Answer:

third person
