Answer:

The narrator controls what information your reader receives about events in the story and what the characters are thinking.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several types of narrators, and all of these examples are very possible to see in literature. In a memoir, the narrator is often the author, and they are telling the reader about their life experiences. An omniscient narrator-- a narrator who knows everything that is going on in the story and what any character is thinking at any time-- can be seen in novels such as Little Women, The Scarlet Letter, and Peter Pan. In contrast, a limited narrator who knows only what the main character is thinking/feeling can be seen in series such as Percy Jackson and Harry Potter.

The only answer choice here that is true without fail is that the narrator controls the information the reader receives.
