Question

which statement explains the difference between first - person narration and third - person narration in a literary text? (1 point) in first - person narration, the story is told by a character in the story, and third - person narration uses a point of view from outside the narrative. in first - person narration, an omniscient narrator tells the story, but third - person narration is told from the main character’s point of view. in first - person narration, a character outside the narrative tells the story and third - person

Explanation:

To determine the correct statement, we analyze the definitions of first - person and third - person narration:

• First - person narration: The narrator is a character within the story, using pronouns like "I" and "we" to tell the story. This gives a personal, insider's perspective of the events.
• Third - person narration: The narrator is outside the story, using pronouns like "he", "she", "they" to refer to the characters. The narrator has a more objective or omniscient (in some cases) view of the narrative.

Now let's analyze each option:

• Option 1: "In first - person narration, the story is told by a character in the story, and third - person narration uses a point of view from outside the narrative." This matches the correct definitions of first - person (narrator is a story character) and third - person (narrator is outside the story) narration.
• Option 2: It misdefines both. First - person is not told by an omniscient narrator (omniscient is a type of third - person often), and third - person is not from the main character's point of view (that would be first - person if the main character is the narrator).
• Option 3: The description here is incorrect. First - person narrators are in the story, not outside. And the description of third - person is cut off, but from what's given, it's already incorrect in the first part.

Answer:

A. In first - person narration, the story is told by a character in the story, and third - person narration uses a point of view from outside the narrative.
