Question

Feelings of both anxiety and hopefulness swept over Monique. One last question in the Science Olympics would determine the winner of the Space Camp scholarship. Monique glanced over at Jake, her toughest competitor. Jake caught Monique's gaze and gave her a friendly smile, hoping to disguise the millions of butterflies swarming in his stomach. Which statement most clearly shows how the author uses point of view to develop the characters in this text?

A. The author uses third-person omniscient point of view to reveal that both Monique and Jake are nervous about the science competition

B. The author uses third-person omniscient point of view to reveal that both Monique and Jake are highly intelligent.

C. The author uses first-person point of view to show that Jake wants to hide his emotions from Monique

D. The author uses first-person point of view to show that Monique is more nervous than Jake about the competition.​

Answer 1

correct answer is c

Answer 2

C. The author uses first-person point of view to show that Jake wants to hide his emotions from Monique

Solution:

Reading the last sentence, we can see that Jake has "millions of butterflies swimming in his stomach", and from earlier text, we can also see that Monique is nervous as well. We know it is not D, because both Jake and Monique are very nervous, and the story is told from 1st person POV. So choice C is the best option.
