Read this excerpt about activist Dolores Huerta. "I had a family that I had to support,” Huerta recalled. "And here I was going to go start organizing farmers for no money with all these children.” Huerta had seven children at home – two from her first marriage and five from her marriage to Ventura. It was a very difficult decision, because it meant she no longer had a job to support her family. Union officials and employees earned $5 a week. Huerta and her family had to depend on contributions of food and clothing. Which statement describes the main narrator of this excerpt? The excerpt is told by a first-person narrator who shares an eyewitness account. The excerpt is told by a second-person narrator who addresses the reader. The excerpt is told by a third-person narrator who shares facts, quotes, and observations. The excerpt is told by an omniscient narrator who has knowledge of the future.

Answer: C - The excerpt is told by a third-person narrator who shares facts, quotes, and observations.

Step-by-step explanation:

A is wrong because the narrator isn't describing their own experiences, and Dolores Huerta's descriptions of her own life are quoted, and she is not the main narrator.

B is wrong because it's not in second person (when the perspective is your perspective as the reader) and the reader is never addressed.

C is correct because all parts of it are correct. The narrator is sharing facts and quotes relating to Dolores Huerta.

D is wrong because the narrator does not "know all" and does not know the future, and this point of view is typically used in fiction anyways.
