Question

Which narrative point of view is shown in the passage?

Hummel sighed. His gun-colored coveralls seemed deflated; a sprinkle of iron filings fell from his hair. . . . Hummel was pathetic, Caldwell decided as he walked away. Lonely devil, couldn't stop talking, he couldn't let you go. No need for mechanics like him any more; everything mass-produced. Waste. If one wears out, get another. Biff. Bang. Smash 'em up.

Answer 1

The story is being told from the 3rd person

Step-by-step explanation:

by reading the passage we can find certain clues that help us figure it out, examples include: "Hummel sighed" the mentioning of the name is rarely done from the first person, and "Caldwell decided as he walked away." this clears up that Caldwell is not narrating either. if no present character cannot be identified as the narrator the story is being told from the third person.
