Question

- second person point of view
- fourth person point of view
- third person point of view
- first person point of view.

Answer 1

- third person point of view

Step-by-step explanation:

- second person point of view - this is not true. If it was told from the second person's point of view it would say "You want to go..." or "You would all rather".

- fourth person point of view - this is not the correct answer. Forth person point of view would be "We want to go..." or "We would all rather..."

- third person point of view - this is the correct answer. The author is the one telling the story and he refers to both Martin and his friends in the third person, not telling the story from their personal point of view. The author is the third person is giving us an objective take on all people in the sentences.

- first person point of view. - this is not the right answer. If the sentence was from a first person point of view, it would say "I want to go..." or "I would rather go to..."
