Question

what is the main benefit of using an omniscient narrator?

a. it creates a sense of mystery

b. it limits the reader’s knowledge

c. it provides a panoramic view

d. it focuses on one character’s thoughts

Explanation:

An omniscient narrator is all - knowing, meaning they can reveal information about multiple characters, events, and settings from various perspectives. Option a: A sense of mystery is more associated with limited narrators (like first - person or unreliable narrators) who don't reveal everything. Option b: An omniscient narrator does the opposite of limiting the reader's knowledge; it provides extensive knowledge. Option d: Focusing on one character's thoughts is characteristic of a limited (often first - person or close third - person) narrator. Option c: Since an omniscient narrator knows everything about the story's world, it can give the reader a wide - ranging, panoramic view of the story, including different characters' thoughts, actions, and the overall plot context.

Answer:

c. It provides a panoramic view
