Answer 1

It's written from a third person omniscient perspective, giving the reader a broad view of everything that is happening.

Step-by-step explanation:

Judith Ortiz Cofer's memoir "First Love" narrates her experience of 'first love' while in school. She recalls how she was so in love with the senior 'out-of-reach' rich Italian man and how life is not about getting whatever one wants.

One important element of a memoir is the use of the first-person narrative voice in the text. Accordingly, Cofer used the pronoun "I" a lot in this memoir. Therefore, one quality that is not part of this memoir is the statement that it is written in the third person omniscient perspective.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.
