Question
which narrative point of view is shown in the passage?
elizabeth looked at darcy to see how cordially he assented to his cousins praise; but
neither at that moment nor at any other could she discern any symptom of love; and from
the whole of his behavior to miss de bourgh she derived this comfort for miss bingley, that
he might have been just as likely to marry her, had she been his relation.

third person limited
first person
third person omniscient
second person
- First, analyze "first person": First - person narration uses pronouns like "I" or "we". The passage has no such pronouns, so eliminate this option.
- Then, analyze "second person": Second - person narration uses "you", and the passage doesn't use "you", so eliminate this option.
- Next, analyze the difference between "third person limited" and "third person omniscient":
- Third - person limited narration reveals the thoughts and feelings of only one (or a few) characters. In this passage, we only get insights into Elizabeth's thoughts (e.g., "she derived this comfort...", "she discern any symptom of love").
- Third - person omniscient narration would show the thoughts and feelings of multiple characters, and we don't see that here. So the narration is third - person limited.
