Question

Read the excerpt from Outcasts United. Luma blew her whistle and told the two teams to gather at opposite ends of the field. "She's more than a coach—that's why," Fornatee said, almost to himself. "She's a great person. I'm going to go over there and tell her, 'That's my team.'" Fornatee hesitated. I asked him if he was nervous about talking to Coach. He laughed anxiously, then composed himself. "Nah—I'm not nervous," he said. A moment later, Fornatee made his way toward Luma. She was standing in a huddle of Under Fifteen players, assigning them their positions. Fornatee tried to blend into the group as if he expected to get a position. "Fornatee," Luma said when she saw him, "go away." In this excerpt, which line shows a switch from third-person point of view to first-person point of view? "She's more than a coach—that's why," Fornatee said, almost to himself. I asked him if he was nervous about talking to Coach. "Nah—I'm not nervous," he said. "Fornatee," Luma said when she saw him, "go away."

Answer: I asked him if he was nervous about talking to Coach.

Step-by-step explanation: when writing, the author can use different perspectives (first, second or third person) depending of the effect he/she wants to produce in the audience. In the given excerpt from "Outcasts United" we can see that the narrator starts to speak in third person (we can recognize it for the use of phrases like "Luma blew her whistle" and "Fornatee said") and then the point of view changes to first person, with the phrase "I asked him if he was nervous about talking to Coach."
