Question

1. some narrators simply have a limited point of view, while others are unreliable. how can you tell the difference?

a narrator with a limited point of view doesn’t know everything, an unreliable narrator knows but tries to mislead you.
an unreliable narrator will seem too eager to share information about the motivations of others.
a limited point of view is consistent in tone, while an unreliable narrator keeps changing his or her mind.
only children have a limited point of view, while adult narrators are unreliable.

Explanation:

To determine the difference between a limited - point - of - view narrator and an unreliable narrator:

• For the first option: A limited - point - of - view narrator has a restricted perspective and doesn't have full knowledge of all events/characters. An unreliable narrator has knowledge but intentionally misleads the reader (e.g., by lying, omitting key details in a manipulative way). This matches the definitions.
• The second option: Eagerness to share others' motivations is not a defining trait of an unreliable narrator. Unreliable narrators mislead, not necessarily over - share about others' motivations.
• The third option: Tone consistency and changing one's mind are not the defining differences. A limited - point - of - view narrator's limitation is about knowledge scope, not tone. An unreliable narrator's unreliability is about misleading, not frequent mind - changing.
• The fourth option: Both children and adults can have limited points of view, and adults aren't inherently unreliable narrators. This is a false generalization.

Answer:

A. A narrator with a limited point of view doesn't know everything, an unreliable narrator knows but tries to mislead you.
