Question

A narrator who uses pronouns such as he, she, and they and knows all of the characters' thoughts and actions is a. first person b. second person c. third person limited d. third person omniscient *****

Answer 1

A narrator using third-person pronouns and knowing all characters' thoughts and actions is a 'third-person omniscient' narrator. This narrator offers a comprehensive view of the narrative, as opposed to first-person or third-person limited narrators.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question pertains to a narrator who uses third-person pronouns such as he, she, and they and possesses knowledge about all characters' thoughts and actions. This type of narrator is known as third-person omniscient. The key characteristic of an omniscient narrator is their god-like perspective, which grants them full knowledge of the story's events, and the internal thoughts and feelings of every character, offering a broad and comprehensive view of the narrative.

Unlike the third-person limited narration, where the narrator may know the inner workings of one or a few characters, the omniscient narrator has no such restrictions. This can be contrasted with second-person narration, where the narrator directly addresses the reader with 'you', and first-person narration, which uses 'I' and is limited to what the narrator character experiences.

Answer 2

The answer to this question would be third person omniscient because, the narrator knows the whole story. Omniscient means all knowing. Third person limited would not know the whole story.
