total and partial solar eclipses
you can see a total solar eclipse only if you are within the moon’s umbra. during a total solar eclipse, the moon appears to completely cover the sun. the sky becomes dark.

Explanation:

To see a solar eclipse (specifically a total one, as per the diagram's context), one must be within the Moon’s umbra (the path of total eclipse shown). North America is not within the Moon’s umbra (or the path of the total eclipse) depicted in the image. So the region is outside the area where the Moon blocks the Sun’s light sufficiently for the eclipse to be visible there.

Answer:

A person in North America would not see the solar eclipse shown because North America is not within the Moon’s umbra (the path of the total eclipse) depicted in the image. To observe a total solar eclipse, one must be within the Moon’s umbra, and this region is outside that area.
