Question

Which point of view does the narrator use in the passage?

"Let me remind you," Barney Northrup said, "the rent here is cheaper than what your old house costs in upkeep."
How would he know that, Jake wondered.
Grace stood before the front window where, beyond the road, beyond the trees, Lake Michigan lay calm and glistening. A lake view! Just wait until those so-called friends of hers with their classy houses see this place. The furniture would have to be reupholstered; no, she'd buy new furniture—beige velvet.
A. First Person B. Second Person C. Third Person Limited D. Third Person Omniscient.

Answer 1

Answer: D. Third Person Omniscient.

Step-by-step explanation:

A third person omniscient view refers to when the narrator tells the story from a perspective where they can see and know everything that is going on with every single character in the play. This allows the reader to know much more than the characters do.

In this passage, the narrator is able to jump from the direct speech of Mr. Northrup to the thoughts of Jake and then the thoughts of Grace as well which means the narrator knows what is going on with all of them and so is using an omniscient view.
