Question

question 1 of 10
why might an author choose to use a third - person narrator?

a. to show the thoughts and feelings of one character

b. to create a story with more than one main character

c. to make the readers feel that they are a part of the story

d. to give the audience a more personal experience

Explanation:

• Option A: Showing the thoughts and feelings of one character is more typical of third - person limited or first - person narration, not the main reason for choosing third - person in general to have multiple main characters.
• Option B: A third - person narrator can have an omniscient or multiple - character - focused perspective, which allows for the development of more than one main character as the narrator is not limited to the perspective of a single character (unlike first - person or third - person limited to one character's thoughts).
• Option C: Making readers feel part of the story is more associated with second - person narration (using "you") rather than third - person.
• Option D: Giving a more personal experience is more typical of first - person narration (using "I") as it is from the perspective of a character in the story.

Answer:

B. To create a story with more than one main character
