which narrative point of view is shown in the passage?\nmost men thought dorothea bewitching when she was on horseback. she loved the fresh air and the various aspects of the country. . . . riding was an indulgence which she allowed herself in spite of conscientious qualms.\nfrom george eliot, middlemarch\nfirst person\nsecond person\nthird person limited\nthird person omniscient
Answer
Brief Explanations:
To determine the narrative point of view, we analyze the passage:
- First person uses "I/we", but the passage has no such pronouns.
- Second person uses "you", which is absent here.
- Third person limited focuses on one character's thoughts/feelings, but this passage reveals thoughts (Dorothea's love for riding, conscientious qualms) and others' perceptions (most men's view), indicating a narrator with full knowledge (omniscient).
- Third person omniscient has a narrator who knows multiple characters' thoughts/feelings and can describe others' perceptions, matching the passage (knows what most men think and Dorothea's inner thoughts/feelings).
Answer:
third person omniscient
