Answer 2

A. Details in the story are limited to the narrator’s first-person point of view.

Step-by-step explanation:

Juan A. A. Sedillo's short story "Gentleman of Rio en Medio" revolves around the story of Don Anselmo's business of trying to sell his land in New Mexico to some Americans. The story deals with the themes of community, desires, beliefs, greed, etc.

The narrator is an unknown narrator who is the real estate agent mediating the business transaction for the old man and the Americans. And in this narration, the reader's understanding is affected by the limited point of view of the narrator. This is because even though the narration is a first-person point of view, the narrator provides a limited view from his own, and couldn't provide the perspective of the other characters. This presents us with a limited view, restricting our access to the whole side of the story.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
