Question

rainsford, reclining in a steamer chair, indolently puffed on his favorite brier. the sensuous drowsiness of the night was on him. \its so dark,\ he thought, \that i could sleep without closing my eyes, the night would be my eyelids——\ an abrupt sound startled him. off to the right he heard it, and his ears, expert in such matters, could not be mistaken. again he heard the sound, and again. somewhere, off in the blackness, someone had fired a gun three times. which point of view does the author establish in these paragraphs? (1 point) third - person omniscient second person first person third - person limited

Explanation:

The text uses "he" to refer to Rainsford and shows only his thoughts and perceptions. Third - person limited focuses on one character's experiences. There's no indication of the all - knowing view of third - person omniscient, no "you" for second person, and no "I" for first person.

Answer:

third - person limited
