Question

Passage 1

It was a foggy day outside of 221B Baker Street. Inside my flat, the air was clear. I was reading by the fire when I heard a knock at the door. When I opened the door, Mrs. Hudson introduced my latest client, Mrs. Blakely. The lady wore a glamorous gown and hat, indicating that she was probably wealthy. Mrs. Blakely's red eyes, wet handkerchief, and frightened expression showed that she was in distress. I smiled and stood at attention, almost smelling a mystery.

Passage 2

A lady in a fine gown and hat stepped out of the carriage and strode up to the door of 221B Baker Street. She sniffled and used a handkerchief to wipe away her tears. Taking a deep breath, she rapped on the door of the world's most famous detective.

b
Passage 1 is first-person and Passage 2 is third-person.

c
Passage 1 is third-person and Passage 2 is first-person.

Answer 1

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first passage uses words such as I and my, indicating this is in the first person point of view. The second passage doesn't use any words likes this, and describes what characters are doing without saying what point of view it's in. This would make the second passage in the third person point of view.
