Practice Question
Extract
As Lillian walked up the road, she realized that the atmosphere was just too quiet. There was no sound from the robin who was nearly always singing from the top of the oak tree. She thought she saw a shadow move high up on the branches, but when she looked again it was gone. Suddenly, Lisa, who Lillian regarded as a little sister even though they were really just neighbors, jumped down from the tree with glee from having surprised her friend. Lillian fell backward onto the grass with a thud. She looked up at Lisa and began to laugh. Both girls loved to trick each other.
Which of the following best describes the point of view of the passage?
Answer Choices
- A: Third-person limited
- B: Third-person omniscient
- C: First person
- D: Second person
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The passage uses third-person limited, focusing on Lillian's thoughts and perceptions only. First-person and second-person are ruled out by pronouns, and omniscient is excluded as Lisa's thoughts aren't revealed, making A correct.
