Answer 1

Answer: Third person omniscient

Step-by-step explanation:

I did the test and got it right. But also in the passage you can see how the narrative figure is digging into both the moms and the sons thoughts. It’s not first person because first person only uses “I”. It’s not second person cause second person only uses “you” and it’s not third person limited because the narrator is including more than one persons thoughts.

Answer 2

The point of view of this excerpt is third-person limited.

Step-by-step explanation:

The excerpt is written from a third-person perspective, as the narrator refers to the teen and his mother as "he" and "she," respectively. However, the perspective is limited to the thoughts and feelings of the teen, as the narrator describes his inner thoughts and emotions. The narrator does not provide insight into the thoughts and feelings of the mother, except for a brief description of her smiling and enjoying her son's discomfort. The limited perspective provides insight into the thoughts and emotions of the main character while still maintaining an objective narrative style.
