Explanation:

Question 1

First Drop - Down (Point of View)

In most legends (including typical story structures), the point of view is third - person as the narrator tells the story about the characters (Elephant, Monkey, Owl) without being a character in the story. First - person uses "I", second - person uses "you", and third - person uses "he/she/they" to refer to characters. So the correct point of view is third - person.

Second Drop - Down (Effect of Point of View)

A third - person point of view allows the narrator to tell the events from their perspective. First - person would be limited to one character's thoughts, and the option about only Owl's feelings is too narrow. So the correct option is "the events from a narrator’s perspective."

Legends are traditional stories that teach cultural lessons. Option A is incorrect as legends are not about everyday events. Option B: exaggerated abilities are more for tall tales. Option C: mysteries are more for detective stories. Option D states that it teaches a cultural lesson, which is a key feature of legends.

Answer:

First drop - down: third - person; Second drop - down: the events from a narrator’s perspective.
