Are these two paragraphs third-person omniscient or third-person limited?

Chef Blanka marveled at the length of the lunch line. She knew that there was no way that they could feed all of these students. "There might be enough food for a quarter of 'em," she thought to herself. Chef Blank a exchanged looks with Sous Chef Tamika. Sous Chef Tamika was thinking the same thing. Sous Chef Tamika wanted to run home and come back tomorrow, but she didn't want to let these kids down. Her daughter was in that line. She felt like she had to do something.

"She doesn't want to go with you," I told Randy. Randy started sobbing. "I'm sorry, Randy." I really was sorry too. She and Randy would have made a good couple, but I guess it wasn't meant to be. I pattedRandy on the back and encouraged him some more. "Don't worry, Randy. There are a lot of girls who would be happy to be with you." I couldn't think of any of the top of my head, but that doesn't mean it wasn't true. Randy was crushed.

Answer:The issue of tariffs caused hostility between the North and the West. The North believed tariffs would protect U.S. products from foreign competition and raise money for internal improvements. The South opposed higher tariffs because they would make imported goods more expensive for Southerners.

Answer:

The first paragraph is third-person omniscient. The second paragraph is first-person, not third-person.

Step-by-step explanation:

Omniscient point of view is when the speaker/author writes out the feelings, opinions, and thoughts of all (or most of) the characters. The word omniscient means "all-knowing."

On the other hand, limited point of view is when the speaker limits what the reader knows, so this means the author writes out some, not all or many, of the characters' thoughts; this could be the thoughts of one character only. Sometimes authors use this tactic to purposely "hide" information from the reader, thus making their story more mysterious or appealing. Limited POV is commonly used in the mystery genre, for example.

First-person point of view is when the speaker uses the words "I," "me," "we," etc., oftentimes as a protagonist of the story. Third-person is, most commonly, when the narrator is not a character of the story.
