Answer:

probably D

Step-by-step explanation:

Usually pronouns tell you more about a characters identity than there motivations. Maybe their gender will have something to do with their motivations depending on the theme of the book and might provide a plot twist but that's a lot more subjective. It's also just not A. Legit like an authors point of view has little to do with pronouns and usually has something to do with theme. It can tell you who the narrator is though.

Answer:

a. Author's point of view.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pronouns are those words that we use in place of the nouns, in order to prevent the use of repetition over the same noun. They are also different kinds of pronouns, depending on their uses.

In a text, pronouns provide the clue to the author's point of view. This means that readers can know who is the narrator or what point of view is used in the story by the pronouns used. For instance, if the narrative voice uses the personal pronoun "I", then we can know that the narration or point of view is in the first person. Similarly, depending on the use of the pronouns, we can know that the narration is third person, or omniscient, or an absent narrator, etc.

Thus, the correct answer is option a.
