Mom. As usual, Sam pushed Joe out of the way and grabbed the remote. She wished they could just get
along. She was tired of dealing with this each and every afternoon,
Mom! Joe called, Sam pushed me! Joe wished he could be older than Sam for just one day. Then he
would show Sam how it felt to always get pushed around!
Sam, it's Joe's turn to choose the TV program today. You chose yesterday, Mom said,

a. 1st person
b. 2nd person
c. 3rd person limited
d. 3rd person omniscient

Answer 1

The passage is written in 3rd person limited point of view, focusing mainly on 'Mom's' perspective and her thoughts.

Step-by-step explanation:

The passage involves a narrator describing events and the thoughts of different characters but mostly focuses on the actions and thoughts of 'Mom', making it 3rd person limited point of view. In this point of view, the narrator tells the story from the perspective of one character, sharing this character's internal thoughts and feelings with the reader while describing events from this character's viewpoint. In contrast, in the 3rd person omniscient point of view, the narrator would have access to the thoughts and feelings of all characters.
