Answer 2

A) The use of the pronouns I and me show that this excerpt uses a first-person point of view.

Step-by-step explanation:

The best indicators of point of view are the pronouns. First person pronouns are I, me, my, mine. Second person pronouns are you, yours, your. Third person pronouns are he, she, it, they, her, him, them. In the first person point of view the speaker is talking about him or herself. In second person the speaker is talking to the reader and addressing the reader as part of the story. The third person point of view puts the speaker outside of the story.
