Answer 2

The character has limited information about what Tessie is thinking.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. Summers is very well-developed, and the story is not at all weakened by the narrator's many interruptions, as these interruptions provide more information, as well as some background knowledge. The rural setting is better described in third-person, because if the story was first-person, then the person telling the story might not include setting details. In third-person, we are not able to see exactly what Tessie is thinking.
