How would readers be affected if this story were told

with a third-person omniscient point of view?
O They would understand what Mac is thinking when
he buckles Andy's leg.
O They would hear the mother's thoughts, even
though she is not in the scene.
O They would understand Mac's thoughts instead of
Andy's thoughts.
O They would draw their own conclusion by reading
only actions and dialogue.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When the narrator of a story is third-person omniscient, it allows the reader to understand what I going on with every character at any given point in time in the story. This includes actions seen by other characters, private actions, and each character’s thoughts, feelings, and reasonings.

Because of this definition, the correct answer is A. It makes it possible for the author to show what both characters are thinking and feeling.
