Question

how might an author establish point of view in a story? (1 point) by using indirect language instead of stating opinions directly by establishing situations where understatement can help state the opposite of what is meant. by avoiding use of sarcasm by the narrator by avoiding use of satire in the plot’s development

Explanation:

To determine how an author establishes point of view, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Using indirect language (like showing thoughts/feelings through actions, dialogue, or description instead of direct statements) helps convey the narrator's or character's perspective, which is key to establishing point of view.
• Option 2: Understatement creating the "opposite of what is meant" relates more to tone/irony, not directly to point of view establishment.
• Option 3: Avoiding sarcasm by the narrator doesn't directly establish point of view (sarcasm is tone, and avoiding it doesn't define the perspective from which the story is told).
• Option 4: Avoiding satire in plot development is about the story's content/commentary, not the point of view (the perspective from which events are narrated).

Answer:

by using indirect language instead of stating opinions directly
