Question

In the Jungle

He swiftly prances across the woods when he spots a deer a couple of yards away. He is hungry and tired, and desires nothing more than to eat and take a long, much deserved nap. Unfortunately, the deer spots him from a distance and takes off at once. He chases it for a while, but the smoldering weather eventually gets the best of him, and instead, he takes a turn and heads for the nearest pond. The glittering water of the pond is extremely inviting, and he gulps down as much of it as he can. Once he is done quenching his thirst, he looks down at his reflection in the water. He cannot help but admire the black stripes spread across his majestic orange body. His eyes appear like two glowing stars. No wonder the deer ran away. No one would dare to be in the presence of someone as glorious as him.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The story "In the Jungle" is told through:

C. a third person point of view.

In the story, the narrator refers to the protagonist as "he" and describes his actions and thoughts from an external perspective. The narrator is not directly involved in the story and does not refer to themselves as "I" or "we," indicating a third person point of view.

The use of third person point of view allows the reader to observe and understand the actions and emotions of the main character from an objective standpoint. It provides a broader view of the events and allows the reader to form their own opinions and interpretations of the story.

Throughout the passage, the narrator describes the protagonist's actions, thoughts, and appearance using pronouns like "he" and "his." This consistent use of third person pronouns confirms that the story is being told from a third person point of view.
