Explanation:

1. In the Hansel and Gretel excerpt, the narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of the characters, indicating third - person omniscient point of view. Since it reveals inner thoughts, it is subjective.
2. In the Alice's Adventures in Wonderland excerpt, the narrator knows Alice's thoughts ("thought Alice"), which is characteristic of third - person omniscient. It is subjective as it shows Alice's personal feelings about the book.
3. In the The Wizard of Oz excerpt, the narrator only gives information about Dorothy and her relatives' living situation without accessing deep inner thoughts, which is third - person limited. It is subjective as it presents a particular view of their simple living conditions.
