Answer 1

The excerpts from “The Adventures of Theseus” are written in the third person limited point of view. In this point of view, the narrator is not a character in the story, but the narrator can describe the experiences and thoughts of only one character in the story. The phrases “Theseus was wondering” and “Barely able to restrain his anger, Theseus strode boldly” indicate that the story is being told from Theseus’s perspective, but the narrator is not Theseus himself.

So, the correct answer is: third person limited.
