Explanation:

First Question:

To determine the answer, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Switching perspectives would likely confuse, but if the point of view (e.g., first person) is consistent, this is incorrect.
• Option b: First - person point of view allows readers to experience the narrator's thoughts/feelings, creating intimacy. This matches how a close narrative perspective affects the reader - narrator connection.
• Option c: A detached narrator (like third - person objective) provides unbiased accounts, but this doesn't create a connection with the narrator.
• Option d: Focusing on multiple characters' thoughts (third - person omniscient) can distance the reader from a single narrator.

• Option a: First - person point of view uses "I" or "we" and is from the narrator's personal perspective. If "A New Beginning" has a narrator sharing their own thoughts/experiences, this is likely.
• Option b: Third - person omniscient knows all characters' thoughts, which is not typical for a narrative aiming for reader - narrator intimacy (from first question's context).
• Option c: Second - person uses "you", which is less common for a personal narrative connection.
• Option d: Third - person limited knows one character's thoughts but is still from an outside perspective, not creating the same intimacy as first - person.

• Option a: Plot is the sequence of events, not how events/characters are presented.
• Option b: Theme is the central idea, not the presentation of events/characters.
• Option c: Perspective (point of view) determines the angle from which events and characters are shown (e.g., first - person shows through the narrator's eyes, third - person through an outside view).
• Option d: Setting is the time/place, not the presentation of events/characters.

Answer:

b. It creates intimacy by allowing the reader to experience the narrator's thoughts and feelings
